Microsoft Corp. plans to construct a 195,670-square-foot data center in Medina County, Texas, at a cost of $400 million, with completion expected by July 2028. This facility will serve as a colocation center, renting space to other companies.

Microsoft has been expanding its operations in the area since its first data center was built in 2005, owning approximately 1,451 acres in Medina. The company is also constructing multiple data centers at 18844 FM 1957, valued at $712.6 million, and has additional plans for two more buildings totaling 490,000 square feet at an estimated cost of $700 million along County Road 381.

Furthermore, Microsoft owns over 300 acres in nearby Bexar County, where it has developed a cluster of data centers. The regions have become attractive for data centers due to their infrastructure and demand driven by AI and cloud technologies.
