DataBank Builds 425K SF DFW13 Data Center in Red Oak

DataBank's DFW13, a two-story, 425,170 sq ft data center, is under construction on Stainback Rd in Red Oak. Owner of record is DB Data Center Red Oak, LLC; JHET Architects, PLLC is the design firm.

Construction began March 1, 2026, following TDLR registration on January 5, 2026. The $325 million project is privately funded, with completion targeted for December 31, 2027.

The building pairs data center space with an office component. It is planned for roughly 60 MW of critical IT load and will support air-cooled and direct-to-chip liquid cooling.

DFW13 is part of DataBank's 292-acre Red Oak campus, planned for up to eight two-story data centers totaling 1.6 million-plus sq ft and 480 MW. Phase 1 includes a 400 MW on-site substation tied to the ERCOT grid. DataBank previously secured $2.0 billion in construction financing for the campus's first three buildings: DFW9, DFW10, and DFW11.
