Integra Mission Critical has registered an $8 billion data center building at its planned 756-megawatt campus near Quanah, in Hardeman County, Texas. The Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation filing, dated Oct. 27, sets construction from Nov. 1, 2026 to Dec. 31, 2028. It assigns no tenant.
The filing
The registration covers "Clocktower - NWB 05," listed as Building 5 - Network, at 4628 Four Corners Road. It describes a single-story, 288,355-square-foot data center with an office component. Dallas firm JHET Architects designed it as a pre-engineered metal building with insulated metal panel walls.
The owner of record is 19000-200 Holdings LLC. Its address, 17000 Dallas Parkway, Suite 200, is Integra's Dallas office.
The filed cost stands out.
Integra's Quanah project site puts capital investment for the entire 756 MW campus at $6.7 billion. The state filing gives $8 billion for one building. Neither source explains the gap.
The campus
Integra began mobilizing crews to the site on Oct. 22. The company says work starts with small site-preparation teams, and the workforce grows as more phases begin.

The state already lists the project. The Texas Comptroller's register of qualifying data centers added "Clocktower Quanah" effective Aug. 24, with Osprey Land Holdings LLC as owner and Paile LLC as operator. Integra has not named a utility, a general contractor or a customer.
Water and power
Water is the local flashpoint. In September the Greenbelt Reservoir, which supplies Quanah and four other towns, stood at 4.7 percent of capacity, and Quanah was under a boil-water notice, KAUZ reported.
"We need something to come. Give us a shot in the arm to save our town," Quanah resident Steven Sparkman told the station. He sees data center development as one possible answer to the shortage.
In May, residents at a Greenbelt Water Authority meeting in Quanah pushed back on a proposed water sale to Lancium, which runs a campus near Childress.
Integra says Quanah will use closed-loop cooling that recirculates water instead of evaporating it. It expects everyday water use to look like a school or office building.
Project materials also describe a dedicated high-voltage substation on site, Construction Review reported. The utility and a first-phase power target remain undisclosed.
Background
Integra designs, manufactures and builds data center infrastructure from Dallas. It began as Critical Project Services in 2009, founded Integra Mission Critical in 2014, and now runs both under one brand. The company says many of its power and cooling systems come from its own plants in the US and Canada.
Market context
Quanah falls in Baxtel's Childress market, which counts 17 data centers from 8 providers, including IREN's Childress campus. Statewide, Baxtel tracks 1,014 data centers in Texas, operated by 229 providers. Baxtel lists the Quanah Data Center at the construction stage.
Why it matters
Integra moved before the politics turned. The campus joined the Comptroller's list in August, Building 5 was registered in October, and crews reached the site before the Nov. 3 election.
Governor-elect Gina Hinojosa has pledged a moratorium on new data center approvals, an end to subsidies, and voiding water contracts that threaten a town's supply. Quanah touches all three: a campus on the tax-break list, a registered $8 billion building, and a reservoir under 5 percent. Projects with paperwork filed and crews working hold the stronger position in that fight, and Integra has both.
