Weston Holladay Technology Park is a planned 900 MW hyperscale data center campus in Ellis County, Texas, within the City of Red Oak. The project site is 12 miles south of downtown Dallas, directly adjacent to the Trumbull Substation owned and operated by Brazos Electric Power Cooperative, and in proximity to existing 345 kV transmission infrastructure.  This project positions Diode Ventures as a leader in data center land development within the rapidly growing Texas digital infrastructure market. Spanning more than 900 acres, the project offers exceptional scalability, strategic proximity to other major hyperscale developments, and access to critical infrastructure that will help support the continued growth of the Dallas-Fort Worth (DFW) region as a premier destination for data center investment.

Since initiating development activities, the project has successfully received principal discretionary land use approvals and municipal entitlements necessary for large-scale data center development. This includes the annexation of project parcels into the City of Red Oak and approval of Planned Development (PD) Zoning for the entirety of the campus.  Diode has completed extensive due diligence, including environmental, cultural, geotechnical, utility, and feasibility studies to support responsible project development. The project is advancing toward detailed engineering, zoning conformance review, and final permitting with the City of Red Oak.

Diode is advancing a comprehensive infrastructure strategy by partnering with Navarro County Electric Cooperative, Brazos Electric Power Cooperative, and the Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT). The project has been submitted into ERCOT’s Batch Zero process for large load evaluation and continues to advance through the regional transmission planning process. Weston Holladay benefits from its proximity to existing high voltage transmission infrastructure, and Diode is actively working with its utility partners to develop long-term, scalable power solutions that support both the project and the reliability of the electric grid.

In addition, Diode is coordinating with local utility providers to implement infrastructure that supports water-efficient cooling technologies, including a commitment not to rely on industrial water for cooling. All project-related infrastructure improvements, including power, water, and other utility upgrades, will be funded by the development to ensure the project does not increase residential utility costs.

Weston Holladay Technology Park is expected to create approximately 1,500 construction jobs over the course of development and 50 to 100 permanent jobs per building once operational. The project will also generate significant long-term tax revenue for the City of Red Oak and Ellis County, supporting schools, roads, public safety, and other essential community services while placing minimal demand on municipal resources.
