Skybox Datacenters has started work on a new campus in Dallas, Texas.

The company confirmed to BizJournal this week that it had begun work on the first building of its PowerCampus Dallas site at the beginning of the month.

Work on the 270,900 sq ft (25,180 sqm) facility is estimated to cost about $85 million, according to planning documents filed with the state, and delivery is anticipated in early 2026.

First announced in late 2023, PowerCampus Dallas will total 300MW and 1 million sq ft (92,905 sqm) across 115 acres in the Lancaster area of Dallas.

Skybox said build-to-suit options are available with multiple, flexible design configurations. Renderings suggest a three-building campus. A video from the company suggests building designs can vary from a single-story 48MW facility to a two-story 96MW building; Skybox said it will be able to support power densities of up to 500 watts per sq ft.

Bandera Ventures, a Dallas-based real estate developer and operator, acquired the site – at South Dallas Avenue and Old Red Oak Road, east of Interstate 35E – in April 2023. Bandera and Skybox have partnered on two previous projects in Houston and Plano in north Dallas.

Skybox’s other facilities in Dallas include its planned 100MW campus in Plano and a ‘legacy’ facility.
