The "MW, all listings" tile above is a wider measure (every tracked site that reports MW, any status, unverified directory listings included), so it is larger than Total listed.

CyrusOne and DataBank each operate five sites, while ServerFarm manages four and Digital Realty's Digital Houston Campus accounts for three. The market has absorbed significant capital commitments: Amazon announced a $10 billion investment tied to data center development outside Houston, signaling sustained confidence in the region's infrastructure and utility capacity to support hyperscale projects.
The DCPI verdict of caution reflects balanced but offsetting pressures on new power access. Power procurement will require active engagement with local utilities and grid operators, particularly for facilities above 20–30 MW.
Deal activity underscores consolidation and acquisitive interest in the broader Texas region, though the Houston market's own M&A pipeline remains thin in tracked records. Amazon's $10 billion commitment represents announced investment rather than completed deployment and reflects confidence in the market's utility relationships and available sites, not necessarily immediate capacity deployment.
