EG AI Corp Breaks Ground on 2.5MW Immersion-Cooled Data Center in Dallas-Fort Worth
A new single-tenant, immersion-cooled GPU data center is under construction in the Dallas-Fort Worth area of Texas, marking a targeted push to serve mid-market enterprises and regulated industries that have been largely overlooked by hyperscale developments. EG AI Corp, a Dallas-based AI infrastructure company, announced the groundbreaking of the 5,000-square-meter (53,820 sq ft) facility, which will deliver 2.5MW of dedicated AI compute capacity upon its scheduled completion in 2027.
The facility is designed specifically for healthcare organizations, financial services firms, and other regulated industries that require full data sovereignty and high-density GPU performance. Unlike the massive shared infrastructure being built by hyperscalers in the region, this data center will offer a single-tenant, immersion-cooled environment that addresses compliance and security concerns. "The mid-market has been structurally excluded from the infrastructure buildout happening in DFW. Hyperscalers are building for hyperscale — the minimums are too large, the architecture is shared, and the compliance posture doesn't hold for regulated industries. We built EG AI Corp to close that gap," said EG AI CEO Dennis Finster in a statement. "Single-tenant, immersion-cooled, built specifically for the operator that needs dedicated infrastructure and cannot compromise on data sovereignty."
While full project details have not been publicly disclosed, a community presentation indicates the facility is being developed in Rice, a city in Navarro County approximately 44 miles south of Dallas. The company’s website suggests the project involves converting an existing warehouse. In addition to the data center, EG AI is reportedly developing EG GPT, a US-hosted large language model built for enterprises with full HIPAA, CCPA, and SOC 2 compliance, as well as EG Voice, an AI-powered voice assistant. The company is collaborating with Swiss software firm Be Brave on the software side of its offerings.
Finster, who previously led German music software firm Listify and operated a cryptomining operation in Switzerland, brings a diverse background to the venture. EG AI’s COO, Danny Cruz, also serves as CEO of DACP Construction, a firm specializing in concrete pouring for data center and Bitcoin projects. The development underscores a growing trend of specialized, smaller-scale data center projects aimed at filling the gap between hyperscale campuses and traditional colocation, particularly for AI workloads that demand high performance and strict data control.
