Wedoany.com Report-Aug. 20, Yondr Group, a global data center developer, has acquired a 163-acre site in Lancaster, Texas, to construct a new data center campus capable of supporting up to 550 megawatts of IT power. Announced recently, the project marks the company’s first U.S. initiative under its new CEO, Aaron Wangenheim, with construction set to begin in 2026.

The Lancaster campus is expected to create full-time jobs, generate tax revenue, and provide opportunities for local businesses during both construction and operational phases. The initiative aligns with Yondr Group’s commitment to delivering reliable, sustainable data center solutions, supported by investors DigitalBridge and La Caisse.

“The US is a key market for Yondr’s next phase of growth, and Dallas is one of the largest and fastest-growing data centre markets in the world,” said Aaron Wangenheim. “This investment in Dallas is just the beginning. Our proven ability to deliver reliable, resilient, and sustainable data centre solutions at scale—backed by the strength of our investors DigitalBridge and La Caisse—positions us incredibly well to support clients in tier 1 markets where they need us.”

The project strengthens Yondr Group’s North American portfolio, which includes two data centers in Northern Virginia and one in Toronto. The company is also exploring additional locations in major U.S. cities while continuing to expand in Europe, with existing facilities in London, Frankfurt, and Amsterdam.

“We are delighted to welcome Yondr, a respected data centre developer and operator, to Lancaster,” said Mayor Clyde Hairston of Lancaster. “Yondr has pledged to create full-time jobs as a result of this project and provide significant financial support for local events and community initiatives. As Lancaster continues to rise as a shining star of Texas, Yondr’s investment further solidifies our city’s place on the map as a hub for innovation, infrastructure, and opportunity. We look forward to seeing their campus take shape and their impact flourish within our community.”

The Lancaster data center campus is poised to support the growing demand for digital infrastructure in one of the world’s leading data center markets. By fostering economic growth through job creation and community engagement, Yondr Group’s investment will contribute to Lancaster’s development as a hub for technological innovation and sustainable infrastructure.
