TRG Datacenters Breaks Ground on 24MW Houston Facility

TRG Datacenters (TRG) has broken ground on HOU2, a 24 MW expansion on its Spring, Texas campus. 

The milestone comes only months after the developer secured financial backing from Tallvine Partners and reflects the rising demand for enterprise, hosting, cloud and AI infrastructure in the Houston region.

The new 110,000 square foot facility is expected to deliver move-in-ready capacity by Q4 2026, adding to the company’s existing HOU1 site, which went live in 2018.

Building on an established campus

HOU1 has served more than 160 customers, including several Fortune 500 organisations, and has operated with 100% uptime since launch. 

TRG plans to replicate the resilience profile of its first facility with distributed-redundant power and flexible data hall configurations suitable for a wide range of IT workloads.

Christopher Hinkle, CEO of TRG Datacenters, says the company’s growth has been driven by consistent operational performance. 

“TRG’s strong track record of delivering high-quality infrastructure and customer service has brought us to an inflection point, with HOU1 nearly fully subscribed and HOU2 construction underway,” he says. 

“With secured power capacity on an entitled, operational site that hosts 16 carriers and more than 160 existing clients, the HOU2 expansion provides a level of certainty our existing and prospective customers can rely on in an otherwise supply-constrained US data centre market.”

The expansion keeps all development within the established campus, where power, land and connectivity are already in place, reducing delivery timelines and minimising the risk often associated with greenfield builds.

Groundbreaking and project partners

The groundbreaking ceremony included key project partners and utility representatives. CentrePoint Energy, Walker Engineering, HTS, Thomas Craig Construction and Encore Concrete Construction were among the organisations in attendance.

For TRG, the involvement of long-standing regional partners reflects the company’s commitment to maintaining predictable delivery processes in a market where many operators are facing construction bottlenecks and power constraints.

Backing from Tallvine Partners

Tallvine Partners, an investor in TRG, is supporting the company’s expansion strategy as customer demand increases across its portfolio.

“This expansion is fully aligned with Tallvine’s organic growth strategy for the TRG platform and follows accelerating customer demand across the business,” says Mark Clark, Partner at Tallvine Partners. “We look forward to supporting TRG’s continued growth in both existing and new markets in the years ahead.”

Tallvine’s involvement is intended to give TRG the capital depth to scale beyond the Houston market as it considers additional developments in regions where power availability and demand trends align.

Meeting demand for high-density and AI workloads

HOU2 is being designed with a broad mix of users in mind, from enterprises migrating legacy footprints through to firms deploying high-density AI racks. 

TRG notes that flexible data hall design has become central to campus planning as operators seek to accommodate divergent power profiles and thermal requirements without compromising efficiency.

TRG’s existing connectivity ecosystem is also part of the draw. The Spring campus currently hosts 16 carriers, with customers able to interconnect across a mix of network and cloud providers without relying on off-site meet-me rooms.

Continuing growth on the Spring campus

The company closed the groundbreaking by acknowledging the partners and customers that have supported its expansion to date.

“TRG Datacenters thanks the sponsors, speakers, and local leaders who joined us in celebrating this important milestone,” comments Bob West, Head of Revenue of TRG Datacenters. “We also extend our appreciation to our customers, vendors, CenterPoint and Tallvine, and we remain committed to delivering exceptional service and partnership with HOU2.”

The project keeps TRG on track to deliver new capacity within an established and operationally mature campus as demand in the Houston area continues to rise.
