Why Optrace Flagged This

Hyperscale data centers require some of the most sophisticated and capital-intensive HVAC and cooling systems of any commercial building type, and this is a nearly $836 million, two-building campus with construction actively underway.

Recommended Action

Investigate Now

A general contractor and architect are already named in public sources and construction has likely started, making this an active window to pursue mechanical subcontracting relationships before major systems are locked in.

Optrace Timing Assessment: Active development opportunity

Construction on DA12-1 was scheduled to begin in February 2026 and run through October 2027, meaning as of today the project should be in active construction with a general contractor and architect already engaged.

Organisations Involved

  • Morley Moss Inc — General Contractor

    Listed as general contractor for the DA12 Data Center Campus by HSE Contractors, a scheduling consultant on the project

  • Equinix Inc. — Owner/Developer

    Named as the owner and developer of the DA12 data center campus in TDLR filings and multiple news reports

  • Margulies Hoelzli Architecture PLLC — Architect

    Identified as the project architect in Dallas Morning News reporting on the TDLR filings

Optrace Recommendation: Who to Approach

  1. 1

    General Contractor — Morley Moss Inc

    As the general contractor managing structural builds, power grid integration, and system commissioning, this firm is the most direct point of contact for HVAC subcontracting opportunities.

  2. 2

    Owner/Developer — Equinix Inc.

    As the owner, Equinix ultimately approves major mechanical and cooling system specifications and vendor relationships for its data centers.

  3. 3

    Architect — Margulies Hoelzli Architecture PLLC

    The architect of record often coordinates early with MEP engineers on cooling and mechanical space requirements for data center design.

These rankings are Optrace's analysis based on available information and do not guarantee that contacting any organisation will result in a contract.
