A Filing With the Texas Department has Set Out Plans for an $8 Billion Data Center in the US

The application was submitted by 19000-200 Holdings, LLC, whose listed address corresponds to that of Integra, a data center solutions company offering turnkey construction and infrastructure services.

Neither the filing nor Integra has disclosed which end user or users the development would serve. Through a dedicated project website, Integra has indicated that the campus could reach a total capacity of 756 MW. The site would employ closed-loop cooling systems, an approach intended to limit water consumption.

Schedule and investment

Referred to in the filings as the 'clocktower' project, the development carries an estimated investment of USD 8 billion. Work is slated to begin in November 2026 and conclude by the end of December 2028.

Where Quanah sits in the regional buildout

The chosen location places the proposed campus within reach of substantial data center activity elsewhere in the region. Quanah, the county seat of Hardeman County and a city named for Quanah Parker, the last Comanche chief, lies near the Texas-Oklahoma border and less than 30 miles from Childress. In Childress, Iren and Crusoe are each developing data center campuses of their own.

Architectural and Engineering Scope

The proposed Clocktower development will use a pre-engineered metal building design, supported by insulated metal panel exterior walls.

The project documentation also identifies JHET Architects of Dallas as the design firm responsible for the facility. Alongside the main data center infrastructure, the plans include dedicated office space, indicating that the development will accommodate both technical operations and administrative functions.

AI and Cloud Computing Demand

The proposed facility adds to the growing pipeline of large-scale data center developments across Texas as technology companies expand their computing infrastructure.

With a planned capacity of 756 MW, the Quanah project is positioned to support high-density computing requirements associated with artificial intelligence workloads and cloud-based services. Its development also reflects the increasing interest in locations outside major metropolitan areas for hosting energy-intensive digital infrastructure.

Development Outlook for Quanah

The proposed data center campus could represent a significant infrastructure investment for Quanah and the wider Hardeman County area.

The development will require substantial supporting infrastructure, including reliable electricity supply, telecommunications connectivity, and specialized cooling systems.

As the project moves through the regulatory and development process, further details regarding its construction schedule, infrastructure arrangements and potential customers are expected to provide a clearer picture of its overall scope.
