Data center firm Edged is looking to develop a new facility outside Austin, Texas.
The company has filed with the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation to develop a new building in Maxwell in Caldwell County.
Located at 11255 Hwy 142, Edged Austin will total 869,685 sq ft (80,796 sqm). Construction on the single-story facility is set to run from June 2026 to June 2028.
Edged aims to invest $2.8 billion in the project. The land is owned by Capital Land Investments I LP.
Maxwell is an unincorporated community in Caldwell County, between Austin and Texas. Prime and PowerHouse are also looking to develop campuses in Caldwell County.
An application for the project was first filed late last year, though Edged’s name wasn’t attached at the time. According to Caldwell County meeting notes from earlier this year, Edged is aiming to develop on 330 acres close to the LCRA Timmerman Power Plant, a 380MW natural gas peaker plant that came online last year.
Edged Austin could total more than two million sq ft (185,806 sqm) at full build-out over two buildings. County officials have approved a tax abatement for the project, which could see a total of $7.3 billion invested.
Edged (formerly Edged Energy) is part of Endeavour, which was set up by Aligned founder Jakob Carnemark. The company has data centers either operating or in development in Bilbao, Madrid, and Barcelona in Spain; Lisbon, Portugal; and across the US, including Missouri, Arizona, Texas, Georgia, Iowa, Ohio, and Illinois.
Elsewhere in Texas, Edged currently has a data center outside Dallas in Irving and is planning a second on the site.
Plans for the original Edged Dallas data center were first revealed in September 2023, and the facility launched in January 2025. Located at 505 N Wildwood Drive, the 11-acre DFW01-1 site currently offers 24MW across 168,610 sq ft (15,665 sqm). The company secured permission to add a second 24MW data center building in January 2026.
Edged is also looking to develop another campus near Fort Worth, though few details are available.
