Operating
Element Critical operates Austin One, a 62,000-sq-ft facility at 8025 North Interstate Hwy 35 in Austin, with 11.28 acres currently operating. The operator reports 7 MW total utility capacity and 8.5 MW of generator backup power with automatic transfer; planned expansion targets 13 MW total utility power.
Existing 62,000-sq-ft facility documented as operating at the time of Digital Realty's acquisition; the reported 4.5 MW figure is the critical load over 30,000 raised sq ft, not necessarily the site's current total power.

Element Critical-AUS1 Master Plan renovation of the existing building to provide additional data-center capacity. The official TDLR record states that partitions would be removed/installed to create new data-center space and that additional power would be provided.

The permit record does not establish a separate commercial-operation date or a net new facility size.
