Yondr Group, a leading global developer, owner and operator of hyperscale data centers, has secured a 163-acre site in Lancaster, Texas, just south of Dallas to develop a campus with the capacity to accommodate 550MW critical IT load. Situated in one of the nation’s most sought-after data center corridors, the project marks a major milestone in the company’s US expansion.
The acquisition is Yondr’s first announced expansion under newly appointed CEO, Aaron Wangenheim, signalling an ambitious growth strategy. The Dallas site joins Yondr’s growing North American footprint, which includes two data centers totalling 96MW in Northern Virginia and a 27MW data center in Toronto, Canada. Yondr is also in advanced discussions for sites in several other tier 1 US metros, and continues to expand in Europe, where the company has existing assets in London, Frankfurt, and Amsterdam.
“The US is a key market for Yondr’s next phase of growth, and Dallas is one of the largest and fastest-growing data center markets in the world. This investment in Dallas is just the beginning,” said Aaron Wangenheim, CEO of Yondr. “Our proven ability to deliver reliable, resilient, and sustainable data center solutions at scale—backed by the strength of our investors DigitalBridge and La Caisse—positions us incredibly well to support clients in tier 1 markets where they need us.”
In addition to job creation, the project is expected to generate significant tax revenue for the region and open opportunities for local suppliers and contractors throughout construction and operations.
Mayor Clyde Hairston of the City of Lancaster said: “We are delighted to welcome Yondr, a respected data center developer and operator, to Lancaster. Yondr has pledged to create full-time jobs as a result of this project and provide significant financial support for local events and community initiatives.
“As Lancaster continues to rise as a shining star of Texas, Yondr’s investment further solidifies our city’s place on the map as a hub for innovation, infrastructure, and opportunity. We look forward to seeing their campus take shape and their impact flourish within our community.”
The campus is expected to break ground in 2026.
