Element Critical Houston One is the colocation facility at 22000 Franz Road in Katy. Its current specification lists 118,248 square feet and 40 MW, without defining the MW figure as IT load or utility capacity. The facility offers air, liquid-to-chip and immersion cooling, configurable N, N+1 or 2N power, and access to the I-10 fiber backbone. A May 2022 announcement documents two additional data halls and 20,000 square feet of new colocation space. Houston Two is a separate development on the shared campus and is not included in this facility's figures.
