Data Center Taking Over Former Las Colinas Neiman-Marcus Warehouse

The demand for large data centers shows few signs of abating. PowerHouse Data Centers and Harrison Street have acquired a one-time Neiman-Marcus distribution center and plan to convert it into what will likely be a hub for artificial intelligence and cloud computing. The joint venture purchased a 50-acre site at 111 Customer Way in Las Colinas, the site of a 491,000-square-foot building previously used by the retailer.

The Dallas Business Journal reports the property will be turned into a campus called PowerHouse Irving with three data centers totaling more than 946,000 square feet. Each building will have a power load of 67 megawatts.

Construction of the data centers is scheduled to begin in early 2025, with the first building expected to be completed by the end of next year. It’s unclear exactly when the warehouse will be demolished.

Dallas-Fort Worth ranks as the nation’s second-largest market for data center inventory.
