Construction: No separately named data-center construction project or phase was identified for the exact GVTC facility at 36101 FM 3159.

Its wholesale network provides carrier Ethernet transport up to 100G, protected and low-latency routes, a 100 Gbps regional ring, and interconnection at carrier hotels and data centers. The public material describes network reach and service connectivity, not an onsite compute or colocation deployment.
Operating context: Operating GVTC communications-provider main-office/store facility at 36101 FM 3159, New Braunfels.
