Crow Holdings data center may spell the end for Dallas' Market Hall building
Dallas developer Crow Holdings has proposed a 245-megawatt data center campus on 40 acres in Dallas, Texas. This project may lead to the demolition of the historic Market Hall building, which has ceased booking events. State officials, including Gov. Greg Abbott, are participating in the broader data center debate.
Dallas developer Crow Holdings is planning a 245-megawatt data center campus on a 40-acre site in Dallas, Texas, a project that appears to signal the end for the city's historic Market Hall building. Market Hall, once considered the world's largest privately owned exhibition hall, has stopped booking events, with its final scheduled event this weekend, and its future remains uncertain as it no longer serves its original purpose.
City zoning records confirm the building's location on parcels designated for Crow Holdings' data center development. Crow Holdings has not released details regarding the potential demolition or repurposing of Market Hall, though the adjacent Renaissance Dallas Hotel is not included in the redevelopment.
The proposed data center has drawn attention from state officials, with Texas Agriculture Commissioner Sid Miller and Governor Greg Abbott reportedly weighing in on the broader data center debate.
