CyrusOne Files to Expand Data Center Campus Outside Waco, Texas
December 8, 2025
In a significant move underscoring the continued demand for digital infrastructure in strategic U.S. markets, data center giant CyrusOne has filed plans to expand its under-construction campus in Bosque County, Texas. The expansion signals a deepening investment in the region between Dallas-Fort Worth and Waco, an area attracting major players due to its available land, power access, and connectivity.
The company has submitted two new applications to the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR) for facilities designated DFW17B and DFW17C, both located in Whitney. These filings follow a prior application for a building known as DFW17 at a nearby address, indicating a multi-phase development strategy for the growing campus. Together, these three new buildings represent a substantial capital investment. The DFW17 project is valued at $375 million and will span 88,875 square feet. The larger DFW17B is a $500 million endeavor covering 249,090 square feet, while DFW17C is a $430 million, 93,320-square-foot facility. Construction is scheduled to commence between late 2025 and early 2026, with completion targeted for late 2026 through mid-2027.
This latest filing continues the rapid build-out of the Whitney campus, which CyrusOne officially announced in July 2025. The site is strategically located adjacent to Calpine Corporation’s 250-megawatt Thad Hill Energy Center, a natural gas plant connected to the ERCOT grid. The company has previously stated the campus could reach a total capacity of 400 megawatts at full build-out, highlighting its scale. CyrusOne, owned by investment firm KKR, operates over 50 data centers across the U.S. and Europe, with more than half of its Texas portfolio concentrated in the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex.
The expansion reinforces Texas's position as a critical hub for data center growth, driven by corporate migration, cloud service demand, and AI workload requirements. For CyrusOne, scaling its Whitney campus provides essential capacity to serve hyperscale and enterprise clients in a market with favorable economic conditions and direct access to dedicated power generation, a key consideration for modern, high-density computing infrastructure.
