Garland’s industrial corridor is about to get even more wired. A $140 million data center known as the Digital Garland Campus has been registered with state regulators and is headed for the city’s growing data row. The filing outlines roughly 236,600 square feet of data halls and four 8-megawatt suites that together would deliver about 32 megawatts of IT power. Work is scheduled to begin in May, with an estimated completion in June 2027.
According to project filings with the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation, the registration was added on March 5 and lists a May 6, 2026, start date and a June 10, 2027, estimated completion, along with a $140 million construction estimate. The TDLR entry names Digital Garland 2B, L.P. as the owner and HED as the design firm, and it describes the build as four DR800 suites (200/100/205/105). The record notes that the project is privately funded and currently shows no tenant assigned.
As reported by MySA, the site at 1512 Ferris Road sits next to work already tracked in the area. Trade reporting and prior state filings showed a nearby Digital Realty-related project at 1502 Ferris Road described as roughly 410,000 square feet with six 8MW halls and a previous cost estimate of about $120 million, according to Data Center Dynamics. Taken together, that cluster of filings points to a continuing campus-scale buildout around Garland.
Why Garland Keeps Landing Hyperscale Projects
Garland’s mix of available industrial land, built-out power infrastructure and dense fiber connectivity has turned it into catnip for campus-scale operators, and local incentives have helped close deals in recent years. Dallas-Fort Worth’s tight supply of data center space, CBRE estimated a roughly 2.4 percent vacancy rate in the first half of 2025, has kept pressure on developers, local reporting shows via The Dallas Morning News. The result is a corridor of new and expanding campuses that operators are still in the process of filling out.
Who’s Listed on the Filing
The Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation registration identifies Digital Garland 2B, L.P. as owner and lists Rafal Rak as the project contact, with HED recorded as the design firm on the registration. The document lays out the suite names and a total building area of 236,600 square feet, and it marks the project as privately funded without a tenant contribution listed. For watchers of the data-center arms race, those details make this filing a clear start point for tracking permits and procurement.
What comes next largely depends on permits, utility interconnect agreements and any incentive requests that land at City Hall, steps that followed earlier Digital Realty filings in Garland, industry reporting shows via Data Center Dynamics. Developers and city officials typically run those items through council and permitting channels before vertical construction begins. We will be watching TDLR updates, city permitting records and council agendas for movement on the project and for the first tenant announcements.
