Edged Files Plans to Build Data Center in Fort Worth, Texas
Edged, a developer of sustainable data center infrastructure, has submitted planning documents to build a new data center facility in Fort Worth, Texas, marking another expansion of digital infrastructure in the rapidly growing Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex. The project underscores the increasing demand for cloud and AI-ready capacity in secondary markets across the southern United States.
According to filings with the city of Fort Worth, the proposed facility will be located on a site within the city’s industrial corridor. The development is expected to include multiple data halls and supporting infrastructure, though specific details regarding total power capacity and square footage have not been fully disclosed in the initial filings. Edged has positioned the project as part of its broader strategy to deliver low-carbon, water-efficient data centers designed to meet the needs of hyperscale and enterprise customers.
The Fort Worth project aligns with a wave of data center development across Texas, where favorable tax policies, available land, and robust fiber connectivity have attracted major investments from operators and cloud providers alike. Edged’s entry into the market reflects a growing trend among developers to target cities outside traditional hubs like Northern Virginia and Silicon Valley, where power constraints and rising land costs have driven expansion into emerging markets.
Industry analysts note that the Dallas-Fort Worth area has become one of the most active data center markets in the U.S., with significant leasing activity from both hyperscalers and colocation providers. Edged’s focus on sustainability—including its use of advanced cooling technologies and renewable energy integration—could give it a competitive edge as corporate tenants increasingly prioritize environmental goals in their infrastructure decisions.
