Dell PS3-1 CSC 2.0 in Round Rock, TX

PS3 Round Rock: Server Room Renovation Planned

Dell USA LP is undertaking a significant renovation at 701 E Parmer LN Bldg 3 in Round Rock, Texas. The project, identified on TDLR filings as Dell PS3-1 CSC 2.0, involves the installation of new server equipment within a 3,205 sq ft footprint. This specific scope includes limited exterior work, demolition of raised access flooring, and the construction of new floors, finishes, and MEP systems. The total estimated cost for this work is $8,000,000, resulting in a cost per square foot of $2496.

Registered with the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation in November 2026, the project is privately funded and situated on private land for private use. Cushing Terrell serves as the design firm of record, while Mark S Robinson is the registered accessibility specialist overseeing the TABS compliance aspects. The filing indicates a construction start date of December 2026, with the entire scope of work targeted for June 2027.

When compared to other renovation and alteration filings in Williamson County, this project stands out for its scale and intensity. The median estimated cost for similar work in the county is $250,000, with a median size of 3,000 sq ft. This Dell project exceeds the county median cost, placing it in the top quarter for estimated spending. Furthermore, the scheduled build window of 166 days is longer than the county median of 92 days, reflecting the complexity of integrating new server infrastructure with structural and MEP changes.

The location falls within ZIP code 78758, where the U.S. Census ACS 2023 five-year estimates report a population of about 50,592. The median household income in this area is $69,019, with 25,745 housing units. Housing in this ZIP code is predominantly renter-occupied, and the median owner-occupied home value is $419,300. Williamson County unemployment was reported at 3.7 percent in September 2026, indicating a stable local labor market for construction trades.

Dell USA LP has a history of development in the region, with three other TDLR-registered projects totaling $2,633,161. These include PS3 in Austin, Dell Parmer South Building 2, and Dell Parmer South 4. Additionally, the design firm Cushing Terrell has registered six other projects totaling $23,604,000, including PS2 in Round Rock and several Target locations in Houston. This project represents a substantial commitment to expanding Dell's infrastructure in Round Rock, focusing on high-value technical upgrades rather than simple cosmetic changes.
