Legacy Investing Plans 50MW Data Center on Former Karting Complex Near San Antonio
Real estate investment firm Legacy Investing is developing a 50MW data center in Marion, Guadalupe County, about 26 miles east of San Antonio, Texas. The project is being built on a 39-acre site at 1000 Bolton Rd, previously home to the San Antonio Karting Complex, a racetrack that opened in 2020 and was recently put up for sale.
The facility will include more than 100,000 square feet of data hall space within a total building footprint of approximately 243,000 square feet. Legacy noted the site has the potential to scale up to 150MW. The project is currently under development and is expected to be ready for service in the fourth quarter of 2027.
“The facility is being developed to support AI inference workloads with direct-to-chip cooling, closed chilled water loops, and flexible infrastructure configurable to meet tenant density, cooling, and redundancy requirements,” Legacy said in a statement. “We’re excited to share this project with our partners and the broader market, and look forward to continuing to advance the future of digital infrastructure in Texas.”
The San Antonio Karting Complex, which had been operating since 2020, announced its closure in January, citing the developer’s requirement for an immediate closure as part of the sale. “This decision was not made lightly, nor was the timing our choice,” the karting complex said on its website.
Legacy Investing manages approximately 20 million square feet of industrial, logistics, life sciences, and data center real estate across the United States. The company’s existing digital infrastructure portfolio includes stakes in Flexential facilities in Texas and Oregon, Equinix data centers in Virginia and California, and several single-tenant enterprise data centers. It has also owned multiple T5 data centers, and previously sold facilities in Ohio to H5 and in Virginia to Serverfarm. In a separate project, Legacy has partnered with GI Partners to redevelop a former stock exchange building in Chicago, Illinois, into a 33MW data center.
The project underscores the growing demand for data center capacity in Texas, particularly for AI workloads, as developers repurpose underutilized land and existing infrastructure to meet the needs of hyperscale and enterprise tenants. The site’s location near San Antonio offers access to regional power grids and fiber connectivity, while its former use as a recreational facility highlights the trend of converting non-industrial properties into digital infrastructure hubs.
