IRVING, Texas - PowerHouse Data Centers and investment management firm Harrison Street have announced plans to develop a nearly one million-square-foot hyperscale data center campus in Irving-Las Colinas, marking a major investment in one of the nation's fastest-growing technology markets.
The companies completed the purchase of a 50-acre site at 111 Customer Way, where the project, known as PowerHouse Irving, will ultimately deliver 200 megawatts of power across three data center buildings.
When complete, the campus will encompass more than 946,000 square feet, with each powered shell designed to support approximately 67 megawatts of capacity. The development will receive power from an adjacent Oncor substation, providing immediate access to permanent electrical service.
Construction is scheduled to begin in early 2025, with the first building expected to be delivered by late 2025.
PowerHouse Irving is the company's third major multi-phase data center development announced in 2024, following projects in Reno, Nevada, and Spotsylvania County, Virginia.
Irving Mayor Rick Stopfer welcomed the project, saying the development reinforces the city's position as a destination for advanced technology infrastructure.
"I want to welcome PowerHouse and its partners to Irving," Stopfer said. "As we continue to demonstrate, our city is a prime destination for vital data infrastructure projects. Our skilled workforce, transportation links, central location, and ease of doing business attract companies ready to build the base for future high technology applications."
PowerHouse CEO and Founder Doug Fleit said Irving's location, connectivity and access to power made it an ideal location for hyperscale data center development.
"Irving-Las Colinas has developed into a hugely important connectivity hub with major financial influence," Fleit said. "We are excited to deliver the first of several planned projects to serve one of the most dynamic data center markets in the world and provide first-rate connectivity solutions for hyperscale customers."
Michael Hochanadel, managing director and head of digital at Harrison Street, said demand for cloud computing, artificial intelligence and other digital services continues to drive the need for additional data center capacity across North Texas.
"Dallas is an established data center market that is seeing significant growth and serves as a major hyperscale compute cluster for the central region," Hochanadel said. "We are leveraging our valued partnership with PowerHouse to deliver much-needed capacity to this high-growth area."
Beth A. Bowman, president and CEO of the Irving-Las Colinas Chamber of Commerce and the Irving Economic Development Partnership, said the project further strengthens Irving's reputation as a premier destination for digital infrastructure investment.
"On behalf of our member-investors and board of directors, we are excited to welcome PowerHouse home to our community," Bowman said. "Irving continues to attract world-class data infrastructure projects, the backbone of the digital economy."
Located in the heart of the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex, Irving-Las Colinas is home to more Fortune 500 corporate headquarters per capita than any other Texas city and offers access to approximately 4.4 million workers within a 30-minute commute. Company officials said those advantages, combined with robust transportation infrastructure and access to reliable electrical service, make the city well-positioned to support continued growth in artificial intelligence and cloud computing infrastructure.
PowerHouse said the Irving campus represents a key part of its national expansion strategy as demand for hyperscale data centers continues to accelerate across the United States.
