Data center space in Dallas–Fort Worth: the Infomart, the suburbs, and what's still being built

Dallas has more provider choice than any market in this library, and it's easy to misread. One downtown building holds three competitors. The suburbs hold a deep bench most searches miss. And a lot of what you'll hear about isn't built yet.

Read this first: building size isn't space you can rent#

Every provider list for Dallas quotes building square footage. That's not the space you can buy, and in Dallas the gap is on the record.

The Infomart: one building, three providers, one exchange#

1950 North Stemmons Freeway is the address to know in Dallas. Three providers rent space inside it, and it hosts the city's internet exchange.

Providers with rentable space inside or next to the Dallas Infomart.
Provider	Site codes	Published size	Worth knowing
Cologix	DAL1, DAL2, DAL3	Not published	DAL1 hosts DE-CIX Dallas, the exchange where networks swap traffic. That's peering, not a private line into a cloud.
Flexential	DAL01	80,447 sq ft · 6.66 MW (downtown hall only, third-party figures)	One code covering five building and suite listings.
Equinix	DA1–DA4, DA6, DA7, DA9–DA12	Not published	GROUPED ROW: ten codes, the Infomart plus Equinix buildings next door. No per-building detail published.

You can put three competitors in the same building into one bid. The fiber stays the same, so you compare price, term and service head to head. That's rare, so use it.

Who else runs data centers in Dallas–Fort Worth#

Checked against the providers' own material on August 26, 2026. Dallas–Fort Worth is many cities, not one: Richardson, Plano, Carrollton, Lewisville, Allen and Fort Worth each count. Every row names its city.

Digital Realty: twelve published sites#

Digital Realty publishes twelve Dallas sites with street addresses. It doesn't publish power for any of them.

Digital Realty in DFW. Square footage is building size, per the warning above.
Site	City	Address	Building sq ft	Sold as
DFW10	Dallas	2323 Bryan Street	387,500	Racks and cages. The old downtown carrier hotel, and Digital Realty's most connected Dallas building
DFW36	Dallas	8435 N Stemmons Freeway	35,000	Racks and cages. Not the Infomart, which is 1950 N Stemmons
DFW11	Carrollton	4025 Midway Rd	99,500	Large dedicated space
DFW12	Carrollton	2440 Marsh Lane	139,000	Large dedicated space
DFW16	Richardson	1232 Alma Road	106,500	Large dedicated space
DFW17	Richardson	900 Quality Way	115,000	Large dedicated space. DataBank DFW2 is next door

DFW26	Lewisville	2501 State Highway 121	831,500	Large dedicated space. The biggest DFW building on this page

The mid-size bench: where most buyers under a megawatt should look#

This is the part of Dallas that searches and AI answers miss. Leave it out and your bid comes back thinner.

Mid-size and regional providers across DFW.
Provider	Site	City	Published detail	Worth knowing
DataBank	DFW1	Dallas	400 S Akard St	DataBank's headquarters, in the old Federal Reserve Bank. Cloud access runs through a partner.
DataBank	DFW2	Richardson	904 Quality Way	Next door to Digital Realty DFW17.
DataBank	DFW3	Plano	8375 Dominion Parkway	Confirmed FedRAMP Moderate, the federal security approval government work needs. Rare. Check it's current and covers your work.
TierPoint	Dallas	Dallas	3004 Irving Boulevard	TierPoint's published list matched our own check exactly. One of the most reliable in our directory.
TierPoint	Dallas - Allen	Allen	820 Allen Commerce Parkway	One of three providers in Allen.
TierPoint	Dallas - Fort Worth	Fort Worth	13701 Independence Parkway	Bought January 2024. Its 18 MW figure is future potential, not built.
Evocative	DAL1	Plano	Address not published	Plano, whatever the URL says. Not Cologix's DAL1.
Evocative	DAL6	Plano	Address not published	Compliance certifications confirmed on the building's own page, June 2026.
Flexential	Dallas–Plano campus	Plano	Address not published	Hosts a 13 MW GPU deployment (April 2025), so the campus handles high-density gear.
365 Data Centers	Richardson, TX	Richardson	Address not published	Ex-Sungard, bought 2022. No direct cloud connection. Compliance reports date to 2015–16, so ask for current ones.

Large-scale capacity#

CyrusOne's built DFW sites. No addresses, size or power published.
Site	City	Worth knowing
DFW1	Carrollton	Built for large deployments. No rate card. Not DataBank's DFW1.
DFW2	Lewisville	No building detail published.
DFW3–DFW5 (Allen campus)	Allen	GROUPED ROW: three codes, one entry.

What isn't built yet#

A lot of the Dallas capacity you'll hear about is still under construction. It's left out of the tables above:

DataBank Red Oak, South Dallas. A planned 480 MW, eight-building campus. The first 180 MW targets Q2 2026.
CyrusOne DFW7, Fort Worth. A 200 MW build under construction. Its Bosque County site sits about a hundred miles out.
Flexential Talty, Kaufman County. Announced July 2026, first customers late 2028.

Planned space isn't space you can buy today. If you're quoted on a future date, ask what happens to your price and your commitments if it slips.

Networks and cloud connections#

Dallas networks meet in one place: the Infomart. DE-CIX Dallas sits in Cologix DAL1. Digital Realty's DFW10 on Bryan Street is the other downtown hub.

Cloud on-ramps: what's actually confirmed#

A cloud on-ramp is a private line into AWS or Azure inside the building. Fewer are confirmed than the marketing suggests:

Equinix: Dallas is an AWS Direct Connect city. We couldn't confirm which AWS region.
Flexential: reaches AWS, Azure, Google and Oracle over its own network, not inside the building.
Cologix: cloud access through its marketplace, citywide.
DataBank, TierPoint, Evocative and 365: through partners like Megaport.

Partner connections work fine. But they add distance and another company to call. Ask every provider whether your cloud connection is in the building or over a network.

When Dallas is right for you, and when it isn't#

It fits when#

You want real price competition. That's the best reason to buy here. Global, national and mid-size providers compete, often in the same buildings.
You want the middle of the country. Dallas sits between both coasts, so it makes a natural second site.
You need federal-grade security. DataBank's Plano building has FedRAMP Moderate.
You need high-density or GPU space outside the coasts. Large GPU deployments already run here.
Texas land and power costs suit your plan, and you're fine running on the Texas grid.

It doesn't fit when#

You need the deepest peering market. Dallas is strong. Northern Virginia is deeper, so bid both.
You need space now and you're offered Red Oak, Talty or DFW7. Those are 2026–2028 stories. Ask what's live today.
Your board worries about the grid. Get that answered in the bid.
You need one provider across several continents. Most of the good options here are US-only.

When a big name is the right call#

Equinix for its network depth and a global contract, right at the Infomart.
Digital Realty for scale in Richardson and Lewisville, and DFW10 downtown.
Cologix when you need the DE-CIX exchange. It's in their building.

Dallas punishes a three-name bid. Six or eight providers would have competed. Put them all in.

What data center space costs in Dallas#

No provider here publishes a price list. Every price is a quote. Here's why we don't publish per-provider numbers.

For a rough sense, asking rates averaged around $196 per kW per month for 250–500 kW across North America in the second half of 2025. That's a continent-wide asking price, not a Dallas quote.

Dallas has the widest price spread of any market in this library. Providers of every size compete in the same buildings. If you run one proper bid anywhere, run it here.

Common questions#

Who are the data center providers in Dallas?#

In and around the Infomart: Cologix (hosting DE-CIX Dallas), Flexential and Equinix. Digital Realty has twelve sites across Dallas, Carrollton, Richardson and Lewisville. DataBank, TierPoint, Evocative, Flexential and 365 Data Centers cover Plano, Richardson, Allen and Fort Worth. CyrusOne runs large campuses in Carrollton, Lewisville and Allen.

What is the Dallas Infomart?#

A building at 1950 North Stemmons Freeway where Cologix, Flexential and Equinix all rent space. It also hosts DE-CIX Dallas, the city's internet exchange. You can put all three into one bid and compare them head to head.

Which Dallas data center has FedRAMP authorization?#

DataBank DFW3 at 8375 Dominion Parkway in Plano has confirmed FedRAMP Moderate. Approvals cover named buildings, not a whole company. Check it's current and covers your work before you commit.

Is Dallas a good place for data center space?#

It's the strongest market for price competition, with providers of every size in the same buildings. It sits between both coasts and has proven high-density space. It's weaker if you need the deepest peering, or space today from a campus that isn't finished.

Who has space? Here's how you find out#

This page can't tell you who has space or what it costs today. With this much construction, the gap between "a campus exists" and "you can have some" is wide.

The real answer comes from asking every provider that fits, at once, about your project. Clectiv AI does that for you, across the Infomart and the suburbs in one go.
