QTS Eyeing $150M Irving Data Center Expansion
QTS Realty Trust may add a two-story data center spanning 210,755 to its 55-acre campus at 6300 Longhorn Dr. in Irving.
A public filing lists construction costs of the new building, designated DC6, at $152 million with a start date in August. Data centers are not large job creators, but due to the high cost of construction and equipment, the valuations for tax purposes are stout. The building will feature administrative spaces, mechanical and electrical equipment and equipment yards. Anticipated completion in November 2025.
The Dallas Business Journal reports its latest addition to the campus, DC5, spans 377,191 square feet. QTS entered the Dallas-Fort Worth market in 2013 with its purchase of the campus, an old semiconductor plant.
Dallas ranked third among established data center markets in the country and fourth globally. More than 1.42 million square feet of projects are under construction in the Metroplex, according to Cushman’s data.
