JLL reports that Texas is on track to surpass Northern Virginia as the world's largest data center market, driven by available land, favorable energy costs, and accelerating hyperscaler investment. The firm's analysis describes the sector entering a period of rapid expansion with record leasing activity and constrained supply in legacy markets pushing demand to emerging hubs. Texas markets including Dallas-Fort Worth and San Antonio are absorbing a growing share of new construction commitments. The shift would represent a major realignment of North American data center geography with long-term implications for utilities, developers, and local governments across the state.
