BITTER BLUE Romp 03 and 04 Fit-Out

Amazon Data Services Inc is undertaking a $18,620,000 interior fit-out of an existing data center building at 12807 Donop Road in San Antonio. The project, filed with the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation as "BITTER BLUE Romp 03 and 04 Fit-Out," involves a renovation/alteration of 33,411 square feet. This specific scope includes the construction of interior partitions, ceilings, finishes, and the installation of mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and fire protection systems for a new data hall and its associated support spaces.

The registered accessibility specialist for this project is Peter F Grojean, with Gensler listed as the design firm of record. The work is privately funded on private land. According to the filing, construction was scheduled to start in November 2024 and finish in November 2025. However, TDLR has not yet recorded a final inspection, so the current state of the site is not confirmed in the public record.

Project Scale and Context

The estimated cost of $557 per square foot places this project above the Bexar County median for renovation and alteration filings. The scheduled build window of 364 days is longer than the county median of 103 days. Gensler has six other TDLR-registered projects totaling $18,370,000 in the region, including locations in Dallas, McKinney, and Austin. The site is located in ZIP code 78223, where the U.S. Census estimates a population of about 57,298 and a median household income of $50,352.

City of San Antonio permit records show six permits issued at this street address between January 2025 and August 2025. These include electrical general permits, plumbing irrigation permits, and comm ice-teller machine permits. The declared valuations on these specific permits total $547,300. The most recent permit references AWS ALE061 and CCD 18 CCTV systems. Third-party sources such as datacenter.fyi describe AWS Rockfish as a hyperscale data center developed by Amazon Data Services, Inc. in San Antonio, Texas.

Status and Inspection

Plan review was completed in September 2024. The TDLR status is listed as Review Complete. Despite the completion date on the filing having passed, the public record does not confirm that the work is finished because TDLR has not yet recorded a final inspection. Bexar County unemployment was 4.7 percent in July 2026, higher than a year earlier.
