Crow Holdings is doubling down on Dallas as a data center powerhouse, unveiling plans for a 245-megawatt campus on a long-vacant, urban infill site along the Stemmons Corridor.
The Dallas-based real estate investment and development firm said it will construct the multi-building project with CleanArc Data Centers, starting with a 70-megawatt facility slated for completion in late 2027, according to a news release from the company. The campus will rise on roughly 40 acres that Crow has owned for decades, northwest of the City Center District.
The site sits near the Infomart hub of data centers at 1950 Stemmons Freeway, DataBank’s interconnection hub, as well as another major interconnection hub in the Univision building at 2323 Bryan Street. That proximity aims to give the project very low latency — or the time delay between when information is sent and when it is received — a key selling point for users reliant on cloud computing networks and AI, according to the release. The Infomart was built in the 1980s, developed by the Trammell Crow Company, and originally spanned 1.6 million square feet.
Crow and CleanArc are pitching the project as a rare Dallas infill opportunity, combining secured power, a dedicated on-site substation and flexible building configurations. The full buildout could reach 245 megawatts, with the initial 70-megawatt building already in design and the equipment procurement process underway.
CleanArc, founded by data center veteran James Trout, will handle development and leasing. The firm is currently constructing close to 1 gigawatt of capacity in Virginia and its leadership team has worked on more than 2 gigawatts of mission-critical facilities, according to the firm.
The project marks a significant step in its broader digital infrastructure push for Crow Holdings, as the firm said it is evaluating more than 3 gigawatts of potential data center capacity nationwide, with prospective projects in markets including New Jersey, Georgia and North Carolina.
Demand for data centers across Dallas-Fort Worth was up significantly in 2025, according to Cushman & Wakefield, accounting for 21 percent of new demand in warehouse and distribution properties in the market. As previously reported in The Real Deal, a CBRE report projects data center inventory in the metroplex will more than double by the end of 2026.
Projects in the pipeline include an $880 million investment in a new facility at Google’s existing Midlothian campus, and the first “Project Stargate” campus — a $400 billion joint venture between Oracle, OpenAI and SoftBank — that opened in Abilene in 2025.
