Data center firm Serverfarm has filed to build two new data centers at sites in Texas that it acquired last year.
In two applications with the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation this month, Serverfarm has filed to build two new facilities at two sites in Houston’s Harris County.
For HTX2 at 4801 Betka Road in Hockley, the company has filed to develop a 565,000 sq ft (52,490 sqm) facility adjacent to its existing data center.
The $137 million project is set to run from July 2025 to July 2026.
For CTX2 at 15555 Cutten Road in Houston, the company has filed to develop a 438,000 sq ft (40,691 sqm) facility adjacent to its existing data centers there.
That $137 million project is also set to run from July 2025 to July 2026.
HKS is listed as the design firm on both projects.
Manulife-owned Serverfarm announced the acquisition of two Houston data centers in September 2024, marking its entry into the Texas market. The two sites combined have a total of 250 acres and more than 500MW. Terms of the deal were not shared.
Both facilities were built and occupied by HP and later DXC.
HOU1, at 28401 Betka Road, was built around 2006 amid a major data center consolidation program by HP that saw the company build facilities in Houston, Austin, and Atlanta.
Serverfarm said at the time of the acquisition that the HOU1 data center facility had a current capacity of 350,000 sq ft (32,516 sqm) with line-of-sight of 410MW of customer capacity.
HOU2, at 15555 Cutten Road, is a two-building campus close to the former Compaq/HP HQ in Cypress Creek.
The HOU2 data center campus spans almost 500,000 sq ft (46,451 sqm) across two buildings with secured customer capacity to scale to 100MW using available existing grid power.
Earlier this year, the company filed for a $3 million, 264,515 sq ft (24,574 sqm) remodeling project at the Cutten Road site under the name Project Longhorn.
