Plans have been filed for two new data centers totaling to $1.2 billion in a booming tech hub outside of Austin.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>EdgeConnex is currently in the process of building more than a dozen buildings for data center projects on a nearly 180-acre property in Cedar Creek. In May, EdgeConnex submitted plans for two other 730,000-square-foot data centers at the site, which were poised to begin construction in June.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Both TDLRs for the EdgeConnex project share the same address, 6402 FM 535,\u00a0Cedar Creek, TX 78602 and construction site timelines.

These buildings are designed to be a type II-B construction classification and will be fully protected by an automatic sprinkler system.<\/p>\n<p>Construction on the buildings is set to begin in early November and the buildings are slated to be completed by mid-May 2028. All\u00a0TDLR filings&#8217; estimated start and completion dates are subject to change at any time.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>MySA reached out to EdgeConnex for comment, but did not hear back prior to publication.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A massive data center campus is making headway in Central Texas.
