TierPoint acquires multi-megawatt facility in Texas

US colocation provider TierPoint this week announced that it has acquired a multi-megawatt data center in Fort Worth, Texas. This data center located at 13701 Independence Parkway is the company’s third in the Dallas-Forth Worth area.

The colocation provider noted that this facility sitting on 13 acres of land, spans 209,200 square feet across two stories. The site features 45,000 sq ft (4,180 sqm) of data center production space and 5MW of available power. The company added that the production space and power are both scalable, including 8MW in the near term and 18MW long-term.

TierPoint chairman and CEO Jerry Kent said, “We’re experiencing exceptionally strong demand for data center services and this new, world-class facility greatly enhances our ability to answer that demand. We’re in active, late-stage conversations with multiple companies that have an interest in the facility, which – in addition to supporting traditional colocation needs – is a future landing spot for the large-scale, high-density colocation services required for artificial intelligence and other compute-intensive, GPU-accelerated workloads.”
