RICHARDSON, Texas (February 22, 2019) --- KDC, one of America’s leading commercial real estate development and investment firms, broke ground yesterday on a 130,000-square-foot powered shell data center in Richardson’s Telecom Corridor®. The data center will be in Dallas County, just south of KDC’s CityLine development.

“KDC is excited to be developing another data center in Richardson on such a well-located site that contains an abundance of fiber and power,” said Ab Atkins, senior vice president-partner, KDC. “We are very appreciative of the support from the City of Richardson, which is vital toward attracting high quality data center users to our project.”

The new data center, to be located at 1510 E. Lookout Drive near the intersection of Plano Road and Lookout Drive, is planned to be completed in the summer of 2019.

Features of the data center include:

• 190 MPH wind resistant design
• On-site substation for robust power and short electrical feeder runs
• Over 20 network fiber carriers
• Ten-year, 50 percent City of Richardson business personal property tax abatement
