The overview
With construction on the company’s second building underway in Round Rock, Sabey Data Centers plans to open the three-story facility in the third quarter of 2027, according to a news release.
The space, designed to deliver 54 megawatts of power capacity, will support high-density compute environments, including artificial intelligence, high-performance computing and advanced research workloads. Preleasing is now open for organizations in need of digital infrastructure to store and process their data.
“This facility is purpose-built for flexibility and efficiency and will offer an ideal home for forward-thinking customers with evolving density needs,” said Tim Mirick, president of Sabey Data Centers.
The announcement follows a surge of recent data center development happening in the Austin metro, including the construction of Sabey’s first building in Round Rock, which was completed in October 2024.
What else?
In August 2024, the Texas Advanced Computing Center at The University of Texas at Austin announced it had chosen Sabey’s Round Rock campus to support a new supercomputer. The project is part of an initiative by the National Science Foundation’s Leadership-Class Computing Facility.
The supercomputer, Horizon, will be NSF’s largest academic supercomputer for open research and is expected to start operating in 2026. Horizon is expected to perform ten times better in simulation and 100 times better in AI applications than NSF’s current system, Frontera.
