Profile

Project scope: The HTX1 facility is an operating data-center building at 28401 Betka Road. The facility was built around 2006 as an HP facility, was later associated with DXC, and was acquired by Serverfarm in September 2024.
Power and grid: 410 MW of critical it load is reported for the exact facility.
Compute role: Operating Serverfarm HTX1 is a 350,000-square-foot, eight-hall data-center building at 28401 Betka Road. It is operated as an AI-ready, high-density facility serving hyperscalers and technology companies, with colocation and data-center management services.
Cooling and environment: N+1 cooling configuration. Water-free, air-cooled chillers operating in a closed-loop design with continuously recirculating coolant. Serverfarm states that adaptive reuse of the existing facility produces a modeled 88% reduction in embodied carbon emissions compared with standard new construction.
Local reporting: Coverage of Serverfarm's September 2024 acquisition of two Houston-area data centers identifies HOU1 with 28401 Betka Road in Hockley and distinguishes it from the separate HOU2 campus at 15555 Cutten Road.

The March 2025 construction article identifies the existing HOU1 facility at 28401 Betka Road and separately reports the adjacent HTX2 project at 4801 Betka Road. It therefore provides exact-site evidence for HOU1 while distinguishing the expansion phase from the requested building.
