Our 74,901-square-foot Private Data Center under construction in The Woodlands is targeting LEED Gold certification, which will make it an environmentally-friendly neighbor. This internationally-recognized building program reduces waste, conserves energy and lessens harmful greenhouse gas emissions. Additionally, our designs benefit data center users by creating greater operational efficiencies.

The Woodlands is well-known for its strong community and natural beauty, but it is also a great place to do business. As more large corporations make this area their home, they will need reliable data centers to keep their businesses up and running. The Woodlands offers a master-planned office environment, with no proximity to industrial uses, rail lines or flight paths, and is located more than 75 miles from the Gulf Coast. Additionally, The Woodlands provides access to a robust power and fiber infrastructure, making it an ideal site for data center development.

Stream Data Centers has started construction of a data center development in The Woodlands.

The Stream Private Data Center will be 73,320 square feet and will be built to withstand 146-mph winds and uplift, Dallas-based Stream said in a statement. The facility will seek LEED Gold Certification.

A single tenant can control the facility, or it can be divided into three independent data center suites, Stream said. Each suite contains a private 10,000-square-foot raised-floor data hall, private disaster recovery office space, redundant private telecommunications rooms and a private utility yard.

The entire center will deliver 3.375 megawatts of critical load, with each suite delivering 1,125 kilowatts of 2N critical load.

The facility’s location in The Woodlands is outside of the 500-year floodplain and removed from industrial uses, rail lines and flight paths.

The facility, Stream’s fifth data center in Texas in the past four years, will be ready for occupancy in April 2013, Stream said.
