EdgeCore DFW02 Dallas Hyperscale Campus: 216MW AI-Ready Data Center
Status: Under Construction / Active Phase 1 Development | Location: Mesquite, Dallas County, Texas 75149, United States
Project Overview
EdgeCore Digital Infrastructure’s DFW02 Hyperscale Campus in Mesquite, Texas, is a next-generation hyperscale data center development designed to meet the rapidly growing demands of global cloud providers, large digital enterprises, telecommunications operators, and artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) workloads. Delivering up to 216 MW of critical IT capacity across a multi-building campus, DFW02 is strategically located within the Dallas–Fort Worth metroplex, one of North America’s largest and fastest-growing data center markets, offering exceptional power availability, connectivity, and long-term expansion opportunities. The campus is engineered to support high-density computing environments with custom rack configurations exceeding 70 kW per rack, making it ideal for GPU-intensive AI training, high-performance computing (HPC), and large-scale cloud infrastructure. To maximize operational efficiency and sustainability, the facility incorporates advanced closed-loop waterless cooling technology, reducing water consumption while maintaining optimal thermal performance for next-generation compute environments. Highly resilient 2N electrical architecture and redundant mechanical systems provide continuous availability for mission-critical operations. As a carrier-neutral campus, DFW02 offers path-diverse optical fiber connectivity to Dallas’s primary carrier hotels, cloud express gateways, and major regional network exchanges, enabling low-latency access to cloud platforms and global digital ecosystems. Combined with advanced physical security, continuous infrastructure monitoring, and scalable deployment options, DFW02 provides a future-ready foundation for cloud expansion, AI innovation, and enterprise digital transformation across North America.
