Operating
Stream Data Centers operates the DFWA facility at 1813 Lookout Drive in Garland, Texas, which was commissioned in January 2020 and expanded to 275,000 square feet. The facility provides 43 MW of critical capacity and was fully leased by a major cloud customer in 2023.
Initial greenfield phase titled DFW VII. Stream formally commissioned the newly constructed Garland facility on January 14, 2020. The facility was reported as 138,132 square feet and expandable to approximately 400,000 square feet; the source identifies two 40 MW utility feeds but does not state the phase's critical-load capacity.
TDLR registration for a fit-out of an electrical room and data hall in the existing data center, with electrical and mechanical gear installed in the yard and building. The permit record gives a 26,000-square-foot scope and scheduled completion of March 1, 2022; this is a permit completion date, not a commercial-operation date.
TDLR registration for a fit-out completing the remaining data halls, mechanical spaces, and electrical spaces of the existing data center. The registered scope was 75,000 square feet, with a scheduled completion date of April 15, 2022; this date is not treated as a commercial-operation date.
Expanded building coded DFWA1. Stream says construction subsequently began on the expanded 275,000-square-foot hyperscale facility, providing 43 MW of critical capacity.
