DataBank’s DFW2 is a standalone colocation facility at 904 Quality Way in Richardson. It has 41,310 sq ft of IT space and 4.3 MW of critical IT load, with 2N power and N+1 cooling. DataBank lists an on-site substation, 48 carriers, cloud and exchange connectivity, metro/national interconnects, HPC compatibility, and 10 kW+ air / 25 kW+ liquid cabinet density.

## Identity and location

- Operating status: operating
- Asset scope: facility
- Location: 904 Quality Way, Richardson, TX
- Operator: DataBank (exact asset) — https://www.databank.com/data-centers/dallas/richardson/

## Power and grid context

- Critical it load: 4.3 MW · reported · exact asset — Current DataBank specification reports 4.3 MW of critical IT load; this is not utility-service MW or measured demand.
- Utility service: 20 MW · reported · exact asset — Historical 2018 DataBank fact sheet reports 20 MW of utility power. It is retained as a dated source claim and not treated as current service capacity.
- Reported unspecified: 6 MW · reported · exact asset — Historical 2018 DataBank fact sheet reports 6 MW of critical power, but the basis is unspecified and the source does not establish that this was critical IT load.
- Substation: On-site substation; DataBank does not identify a point of interconnection.

## Development

- Site status: Located in Richardson’s Technology Business Corridor.
- Construction: A 2013 Texas TDLR filing records a privately funded addition at 904 Quality Way, naming the project DATABANK PHASE 2. Its scope was to add a second data hall, technical rooms and office space to an existing building; it lists a $525,000 estimated cost, a proposed July–September 2013 schedule, unknown square footage and a closed project status. Older DataBank brochures describe 68,000 square feet of building area, 42,000 square feet of raised floor, 20 MW of on-site utility power and 6 MW of critical power. The operator’s current page instead lists 41,310 IT square feet and 4.3 MW of critical IT load; these differently dated figures are not treated as like-for-like revisions without a documented scope bridge.

## Compute and operations

- Facility classes: colocation
- Critical IT load: 4.3 MW

## Data quality

- Current operator page reports 41,310 IT sq ft, 4.3 MW critical IT load and 48 on-site carriers. A 2025 Q4 operator datasheet reports 39 carriers; a 2018 operator sheet reports 42,000 raised-floor sq ft, 20 MW utility power, 6 MW critical power and 16 carriers. Older figures are retained as dated claims and are not treated as current-equivalent without a scope bridge.
- Current utility-service capacity, generator ratings, utility agreement, measured electricity demand and facility commissioning date are not established by the current operator page or reviewed TDLR filing.
- The TDLR project record lists ZIP 75080 and Collin County, while the current operator listing says ZIP 75081; county remains unresolved in this profile.
