Amazon Files Plans for New Data Center Buildings in Texas Across Three Sites
Amazon has filed applications with Texas regulators to develop data center campuses in Fort Stockton and Floydada, while also expanding its previously planned campus near Houston in Boling, bringing the total number of new buildings across all three sites to sixteen.
Fort Stockton Push Into West Texas
Amazon, operating through its Amazon Data Services subsidiary, has filed with the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation to construct three data center buildings in Pecos County, located 11 miles north of Fort Stockton in West Texas.
The three facilities, designated Buildings A, B, and C and collectively referred to as the Pecos County Data Center, will each be sited at 6000 TX-18 and total 189,060 square feet. Each building carries a projected cost of USD 300 million, and construction is scheduled to run from August to December 2026. The filings were first reported by My San Antonio.
The area around Fort Stockton has previously drawn attention from the data center industry.
AI start-up Poolside announced plans in October 2025 to develop a large-scale 2-gigawatt campus near Longfellow Ranch outside Fort Stockton, known as Project Horizon, on a 559-acre site.
That project was initially announced alongside AI cloud provider CoreWeave, which has since withdrawn from the arrangement, leaving Poolside in search of a new partner.
The source material notes it is unclear whether Amazon's Fort Stockton plans have any connection to Poolside's project.
Floydada Site Currently Houses a Golf Course
Also filed this month are plans for a second new campus in Floydada, a city in Floyd County approximately 45 miles northeast of Lubbock. Amazon Data Services has submitted applications to build three facilities designated Buildings B, C, and D at addresses on County Road 241, with the site listed at 1782 and 1774 County Road 241.
The campus has been given the name Horizon Junction. Each of the three Floydada buildings will also total 189,060 square feet and carry a USD 300 million price tag, mirroring the specifications at Fort Stockton.
Construction is planned to run from August 2026 through April 2027, a longer build window than the Fort Stockton timeline.
The land earmarked for the Horizon Junction campus currently hosts the Floydada County Club, a nine-hole, semi-private golf course.
No public announcements have been made about the club closing or any related developments on the surrounding property, according to the source material.
Project Eagle Near Houston Grows to Ten Buildings
Amazon's plans in Boling, a community in Wharton County southwest of Houston, have grown substantially since the company's initial filings last month.
The campus, known as Project Eagle, was previously reported to consist of four data center buildings. Amazon has now filed plans for six additional structures, bringing the total to ten. The six newly filed buildings are designated E through K, with addresses along Eaglewood Drive.
Building E will be located at 266 Eaglewood Drive, Building F at 270 Eaglewood, Building G at 230 Eaglewood, Building H at 234 Eaglewood, Building J at 237 Eaglewood, and Building K at 233 Eaglewood.
All six are set to total 189,060 square feet each, with USD 300 million invested per building. Construction on all six is scheduled to run from September 2026 to September 2027.
The original four buildings A, B, C, and D are also every 189,060 square feet with USD 300 million in investment, and are sited along Eaglewood at addresses 240, 244, and 258.
Construction on all four is set to begin in August 2026. Buildings A, B, and C are slated for completion by January 2027, while Building D has a completion date of August 2027.
A Broader Texas Footprint Taking Shape
The new filings add to what is becoming a significant and geographically diverse Amazon Web Services presence across Texas.
In May 2026, the company acquired approximately 1,300 acres near Cedar Creek in Bastrop County, located off State Highway 21 West about 30 miles southeast of Austin, for a potential data center campus.
Amazon also maintains an existing footprint in San Antonio and previously filed plans to develop a facility in DeSoto, outside Dallas.
Earlier in 2026, Amazon filed plans to potentially develop a large campus adjacent to Vistra's Comanche nuclear plant outside Fort Worth, a move that reflects a broader industry trend toward siting power-intensive data center operations near dedicated energy generation facilities.
The filings across Fort Stockton, Floydada, and Boling collectively represent at least USD 4.8 billion in projected construction investment based on the USD 300 million per building figure attached to the sixteen new facilities. If completed as filed, the campuses would add more than 3 million square feet of data center space to Amazon's Texas portfolio.
