EdgeConneX is preparing two major data center buildings in Cedar Creek, Bastrop County, about 26 miles southeast of Austin. Texas regulatory filings identify the projects as EDCAUS13 and EDCAUS14 and list an estimated construction value of about $700 million for each building.
1.46 Million Square Feet Combined
Each proposed data center is listed at roughly 730,000 square feet, giving the two buildings a combined area of about 1.46 million square feet. The single-story facilities will include office space and site improvements and are planned for a roughly 180-acre property.
Construction Schedule
The filings list September 1, 2026, as the anticipated construction start and March 31, 2029, as the completion target. Regulatory filings can change as projects develop, but the dates place the campus at the edge of active construction rather than a distant conceptual proposal.
Water and Site Planning
EdgeConneX has described a closed-loop approach intended to reduce public water consumption. Water use has become a major issue for data center development in Texas and other fast-growing markets, particularly when projects are proposed in areas also dealing with residential and industrial growth.
A Major Austin-Area Data Center Investment
The two buildings represent approximately $1.4 billion in filed construction value before considering the broader economic impact of equipment and operations. Bastrop County previously approved a long-term property-tax abatement connected to the development. With construction scheduled to start immediately, the project adds another large mission-critical campus to Central Texas’ rapidly expanding technology infrastructure.

Why the Project Is in the News Now
The key development reported this week is the project milestone described in the opening of this article. That milestone changes the project from its prior stage and provides a clearer view of its current scope, schedule or path toward construction. The figures and dates above reflect the latest publicly reported information available this week.
Project Status
As of 2026-08-26, this project is at the stage described above. The latest reporting from MySA provides the current public milestone. Schedules, budgets and scopes on major construction programs can change as design, permitting, procurement and field work advance. iBidElectric will track later construction milestones when new verified information becomes available.
