Flexential has acquired 110 acres in Kaufman County, Texas, for its fourth and largest data centre development in the Dallas-Fort Worth area. Located in Talty, the first phase will deliver a 375,000 sq ft (34,840 sqm) facility with 36MW of capacity, supporting wholesale and multi-tenant colocation workloads.
The site will support high-density workloads with rack densities of up to 150kW and will use a closed-loop cooling system to reduce water consumption. Construction is expected to begin in early 2027, with the first phase scheduled to open in late 2028. At full build-out, the campus could include three 36MW buildings, providing 108MW of total capacity.
"Dallas has the strongest combination of demand, infrastructure, and growth potential of any data center market in the country, and the development pipeline can't keep pace," said Ryan Mallory, CEO of Flexential. "Companies are planning two and three years out and still struggle to secure the infrastructure they need. This property will let us deliver large-scale capacity designed around our customers' requirements instead of asking them to adapt to whatever happens to be available."
Flexential also operates data centres in downtown Dallas, Plano, and Richardson, with a combined 28.4MW across 459,000 sq ft (42,642 sqm). Founded in 2017 following GI Partners’ merger of Peak 10 and ViaWest, Flexential now operates more than 40 data centres with 360MW of capacity online or under development across 18 US markets.
