The Market

Why Houston

We invest in your success through speculative development in markets where we see future demand and in locations where TCO can be optimized, risk is low, network connectivity is robust, and sustainability is easily achievable. The Woodlands certainly fits the bill.

Relatively low-cost power keeps TCO low
Electricity prices in Houston are among the lowest in the U.S.

Houston is a top 20 peering and interconnection market
With many local internet exchanges for peering, cloud on-ramps, and several local public cloud nodes, you’ll have reliable low-latency connectivity wherever you need to go.

Renewable energy options ­and incentives abound
There are more financial incentives and regulatory policies promoting renewable energy in Texas than any other state except California and Minnesota. By far the largest single renewable energy source in the state is wind. About 28% of all the U.S. wind-powered electricity was produced in Texas.

Houston is a great place to do business
Twenty-two Fortune 500 companies are headquartered in the Houston metro area. A key driver is the ease and relatively low cost of doing business.
