Dallas-based data center operator CyrusOne filed plans with the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation on December 9, 2025 for a $430 million data center project in Whitney, Texas, located in Bosque County outside of Waco.
Project Details
The filing describes 93,319 square feet of new construction for a single-story data center with a one-story office component. Exterior construction will use insulated precast with steel structure. Construction is scheduled to begin in February 2026, with completion expected in April 2027.
The Whitney site is part of CyrusOne’s larger DFW10 campus in Bosque County. The company is developing the 250,000-square-foot campus strategically positioned near a substation and the 800-megawatt natural gas-powered Bosque Power Plant operated by Calpine.
CyrusOne’s Texas Expansion
CyrusOne has filed for multiple data center buildings at the Whitney campus, expanding its Texas footprint. The company operates data centers throughout the United States, with a focus on AI and technology development.
“Our facilities support demanding AI-driven applications and high-density deployments while providing the flexibility to adapt to rapidly evolving technology requirements,” according to CyrusOne’s website. “Through build-to-suit, colocation and interconnection solutions, we deliver infrastructure that scales with our customers’ needs.”
Growing Data Center Activity in Texas
Texas has seen rapid data center construction in recent years. OpenAI’s $500 billion Stargate Project in Abilene represents the largest AI infrastructure initiative in the state.
The concentration of data centers in rural Texas areas has raised concerns among residents about water and energy consumption. In San Angelo, citizens voiced opposition to the City Council about a recently approved data center rezoning.
“It seems they have a plan and a company they’ve been working with already, and now that the zoning was approved, they just have to present plans to committees for approval, and then to City Council for approval,” a representative of West Texas Indivisible said. “There is still time for us to stop this, but we need to act fast and have representation at every City Council meeting.”
