San Antonio to host massive 5,220-megawatt data center campus development

San Antonio is set to host a massive 5,220-megawatt data center campus development across three locations, according to an announcement from real estate developer Tract Capital. The projects span more than 3,500 acres of land in the region, positioning the Texas city as a growing hub for hyperscale digital infrastructure.

Tract Capital’s Expansion Strategy

Tract Capital, a data center land acquisition and development company backed by Berkshire Partners, is pursuing a “horizontal powered land strategy” focused on creating master-planned data center campuses. The three San Antonio projects represent a significant bet on the region’s emerging role as a critical tech infrastructure hub. One of the sites, Medina Technology Park, spans 265 acres in Medina County. Another major parcel—1,515 acres in Caldwell County—was acquired in May 2025 for a multi-gigawatt data center technology park. The third location remains under development as part of the broader portfolio.

Why San Antonio Is Becoming a Data Center Destination

Texas, and San Antonio in particular, has emerged as a prime location for data center development. The region benefits from relatively low power costs, available land, and growing demand from artificial intelligence and cloud computing operators. Collectively, the San Antonio–Austin region saw a fourfold increase in data center construction between 2023 and 2025, according to recent reporting. The massive scale of Tract’s three campuses—totaling 5,220 megawatts—underscores how quickly major infrastructure investment is flowing into the area. This capacity would support tens of thousands of computing servers and serve as a foundation for future operators to build their own facilities.

Integration Into a Competitive Landscape

Tract’s developments come as San Antonio hosts several other major data center projects. Amazon, Microsoft, and other tech giants have filed or begun construction on facilities in and around the city. The city council has begun discussions around tailor-made regulatory models to balance job creation and tax revenue with community concerns about water use and power demand. Tract’s approach of acquiring and preparing land—rather than operating individual data centers—allows the company to sell or lease ready-made campuses to multiple end-users, spreading risk and accelerating the deployment timeline for operators looking to expand capacity in the region.
