Integra Mission Critical has advanced the $8 billion Clocktower data center building in Quanah, Texas. The structure anchors a planned 756 MW campus and carries a build window from Nov. 1, 2026 to Dec. 31, 2028.
The filing covers Clocktower – NWB 05, or Building 5 – Network, at 4628 Four Corners Road. KFDX/KJTL reported the registration on Monday, picking up a Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation filing made in late October. Quanah is a Hardeman County town of roughly 2,300 residents.
Other Projects
Earlier this year, Galaxy Digital Inc. received approval from the Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT) for an additional 830 megawatts of computing demand at its Helios data center campus in Dickens County, West Texas. The approval followed the completion of Large Load Interconnection Studies (LLIS) and includes a service agreement with AEP Texas Inc., with Wind Energy Transmission Texas facilitating the interconnection studies.. Texas is one of the states leading in the race to attract data center investment in the USA.
Scope of implementation on the Clocktower data center building
The building totals 288,355 square feet on a single story. Dallas-based JHET Architects designed the structure for owner entity 19000-200 Holdings LLC, an Integra Mission Critical vehicle. Plans call for a pre-engineered metal building with an insulated metal panel skin. A dedicated office component sits alongside the data hall.
The two-year schedule runs from the Nov. 1 start to completion by New Year’s Eve 2028. Single-story pre-engineered construction suits that pace: repetitive bays, fast envelope assembly, and no vertical staging complexity.
Scope of the wider 756 MW Quanah campus
Clocktower is one building inside a much larger plan. Designers have drawn the Quanah Data Center campus for 756 megawatts, backed by a separately published $6.7 billion baseline investment. Project materials describe closed-loop, water-recirculating cooling and a dedicated high-voltage substation on site. Together, the building registration and the campus investment put total development value near $8 billion.
The scale dwarfs its host. A 756 MW load approaches the consumption of a mid-sized city. Yet the campus sits in a town of about 2,300 people. Water use, grid draw and construction traffic will therefore face local scrutiny as buildings multiply.
Challenges facing the Quanah data center campus
The schedule is the first test. Two years is aggressive for a 288,355-square-foot data hall, and crews have a narrow window before Hardeman County winters bite. Labour and electrical equipment availability will decide whether the Dec. 31, 2028 date holds.
Power is the second. The campus needs its dedicated substation energised before the first hall can run. Full 756 MW capacity also depends on transmission work beyond the fence line. The project has not disclosed its anchor tenant, utility partner or phase-one power target.
Even so, the pieces are moving. The building sits registered, the designer and owner stand on record, and the clock started Nov. 1.
