Still more data centers are coming to San Antonio's far West Side around Westover Hills, which has become a hub for the massive facilities.
A property in far West Bexar County will be developed into a data center inside the Texas Research Park, where similar facilities are continuing to be developed.Our spring member drive is happening now. We need your help to raise $50,000 by May 19 to help our newsroom reach even more San Antonio readers.Though they span wide stretches of land, cost hundreds of millions to build and gobble up massive amounts of electricity, the data centers of the West Side can be rather inconspicuous.
Yet these behemoths have become an important part of the West Side’s economy – and San Antonio’s tax base. In recent decades, 30 of them have popped up on the West Side, said Marty Wender, a developer who helped build many of them. And more are on the way. The property is on Lambda Drive, across from where Microsoft has since 2016 built 850,000 square feet worth of data centers valued at $304 million, according to the Bexar Appraisal District .
Filings made by Microsoft with the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation show that it has spent at least $1.17 billion to build its Westside data centers since 2015.
