Ownership: Carlyle u.s. army land at fort bliss, under negotiation as a long-term lease to carlyle. the building.
Lot Size: 1,384 acres

The U.S. Army selected Carlyle in March 2026 for exclusive talks on an enhanced-use lease of Fort Bliss land for a commercial data center campus. The site sits on the southern edge of the post in far east El Paso, east of Loop 375 and north of Montana Avenue. The Army plans to reserve part of the campus as a secure enclave for military use, and Carlyle would use most of the capacity.

Army officials said the first phase could come online in 2027, with the campus growing through 2029. On-site natural-gas generation is the most likely power source. In October 2026 El Paso Electric listed two large-load requests at Fort Bliss in its study queue. The proposed lease runs 50 years. It was still under negotiation in November 2026, and the Army has begun an environmental review of the site.

Site History

  • November 2026: The lease enters the Army's environmental review.
  • October 2026: El Paso Electric lists two Fort Bliss large-load requests in its study queue.
  • April 2026: Army officials outline the campus plan and timeline.
  • March 2026: The Army conditionally selects Carlyle for the Fort Bliss lease.
  • December 2025: The Army Corps of Engineers seeks proposals for a data center on the site.
