QTS and Flexential Expand Campuses
Coverage from Data Center Dynamics, The VW Independent, and others
QTS and Flexential are advancing several large data center campuses across Texas, Ohio, and Virginia, including QTS proposals totaling up to 500 MW in Van Wert, Texas campuses with multi-building plans, and a 108 MW Flexential site near Dallas.
The projects combine substantial land and capital commitments with plans for closed-loop cooling and, in several cases, company-funded energy infrastructure improvements. Their timelines remain dependent on permitting, utility coordination, and phased construction.
The story now centers more specifically on named QTS and Flexential projects, especially Flexential's newly surfaced Talty campus and QTS's Virginia expansion plans. The overall frame is still the same, but the current version adds clearer project-level detail and more explicit timelines.
The story has broadened materially from QTS’s Ohio and Virginia buildouts into a wider Texas-led pipeline of large, phased campuses. The new version emphasizes power-provisioning commitments, closed-loop cooling, and a multi-project delivery pattern across multiple developers and sites.
