Texas: MSB Global 3GW Matrix Campus Sulphur Springs AI Hub
Status: Phase 1 Active Structural Execution & Substation Integration | Location: 1,677-Acre Secured Industrial Block, Sulphur Springs (1.5 Hours East of Dallas)
Project Overview
The Matrix Campus is an ultra-scale 3-gigawatt (GW) digital infrastructure development located across 1,677 secured acres in Sulphur Springs, Texas. Strategically positioned 1.5 hours east of Dallas along the Interstate-30 corridor, the master-planned development is designed to address the severe space and power shortages facing typical metropolitan data center markets. The facility acts as a massive deployment zone for next-generation artificial intelligence, high-performance computing (HPC), and large-scale large language model (LLM) training operations. The campus layout features an uniform modular design consisting of 30 identical 100-megawatt (MW) data center buildings. Each structure is structurally and thermally engineered to support extreme rack densities, providing the space and power routing required to host up to 2,000 advanced GPU clusters per building. By utilizing a highly repeatable design, the developer achieves rapid speed-to-market, with the first 400MW block across Buildings 1 through 4 scheduled to go live by late 2026, followed by a second 400MW block in early 2027.
