Provident Data Centers has entered into a joint venture with PowerHouse Data Centers for the development of a hyperscale campus in Grand Prairie, Texas. When complete, it will be one of the largest data center campuses in Texas and the U.S.

The multi-phase development will be designed as a shell campus with ample power sourcing that will meet the growing demand for data centers from industry operators in the Metroplex.

The partners intend to break ground on the 768-acre project in the second quarter of this year, according to Dallas Business Journal. Phase One is set to generate some 500 megawatts of power, while the entire campus is expected to generate 1.8 gigawatts at full build-out.

This will be the second Metroplex data center development for PowerHouse. The company entered the market in May with a project developed in partnership with Harrison Street. The upcoming data center in Irving, Texas, will total approximately 1 million square feet and generate 200 megawatts.

Owned and operated by American Real Estate Partners, PowerHouse has 25.5 million square feet of data center space in various stages of development across six key markets. The portfolio totals more than 5.9 gigawatts.

Dallas-based Provident Data Centers has developed north of 50 projects in six states since its inception. Their campuses generate more than 3.8 gigawatts of power.

A hotspot for data centers

In the first half of 2024, the Metroplex had 637.5 megawatts in underway projects and 848 megawatts in operation, according to a Cushman & Wakefield data center report. The metro is one of the top five data center markets in the country, but more affordable than Northern Virginia or Silicon Valley.

One of the current developments is DataBank’s project in Red Oak, Texas. Coming online on 292 acres, the data center campus will total 480 MW across eight buildings at full build-out.
