Facebook’s $1 billion spaces for faces

FORT WORTH – Facebook Inc. plans to add two additional data halls—termed building 5 and building 6—to its data center campus in AllianceTexas.

The development team behind the $1 billion campus, located on 4500 Like Way, filed two building permits for the two data hall buildings, which will bring a total of $365 million of valued real estate to the campus.

Combined square footage for both halls is over 1 million sf.

The cost of only the buildings’ construction is estimated to cost $531 million, according to TDLR.

The massive data center campus is the largest being built by the California-based media empire, and is part of a larger big data movement underway in North Texas.
