The Houston area is home to very few large data centers, the likes of which have been springing up around Texas. One of the main reasons is the price of land in Southeast Texas, along with the power supplies that these sizable projects are expected to develop in tandem.
“Relative to the suburbs or further outside of Houston or even West Texas, the cost of land acquisition itself is much, much, much higher in the Houston area,” Bracewell’s Jared Berg told NewsRadio 740 KTRH.
“Outside of city centers are really where you’re seeing the new, really large data center campuses being announced.”
