PROJECT EAGLE - BUILDING A

Amazon Data Services, INC is constructing a new 189,060-square-foot data center building at 244 Eaglewood Rd in Boling, Texas. The project, filed with the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR) as Project Eagle, represents a single-structure component of a larger development effort in Wharton County. The estimated cost for this specific building is $300,000,000, translating to a cost of $1,587 per square foot.

The facility is privately funded and located on private land for private use. M. Arthur Gensler & Associates, INC. serves as the design firm of record for the project. Meghan Broussard Simecek is the registered accessibility specialist associated with the filing. The scope of work is defined strictly as a new data center building, distinct from the other structures Amazon has registered in the area.

Construction Timeline and Status

TDLR completed the plan review for this project in August 2026. Construction is scheduled to finish in January 2027, with work starting in August 2026. The TDLR status for the project is listed as Review Complete. This timeline indicates a scheduled build window of 153 days, which is shorter than the 243-day median build window for new construction projects in Wharton County during the same period.

Amazon Data Services, INC has six other TDLR-registered projects in the region, including buildings in Floydada and Boling, with a combined value of $934,000,000. The design firm, M. Arthur Gensler & Associates, INC., is also associated with these other filings. Local media, such as Wharton Post and Yahoo Finance, have reported on the broader Project Eagle campus, describing it as a multi-building development near Boling. These reports align with the TDLR records showing multiple registered structures in the vicinity.
