Press Release:
Rowan Digital Infrastructure Breaks Ground on 300 MW Hyperscale Data Center Campus Near San Antonio, Texas
Project Represents a Minimum $900M Investment in Medina County
LYTLE, Tex. (Aug. 7, 2025)– Rowan Digital Infrastructure, a leading developer of mission-critical hyperscale data centers, today announced that it is beginning construction on the Cinco data center campus, a 300 MW hyperscale project outside San Antonio, Texas. The Cinco project is tailored to the long-term needs of a Top 5 US technology company.
The Cinco project signifies a significant investment by Rowan in the future of cloud and AI infrastructure in one of the world’s fastest-growing markets and represents a minimum investment of $900M in the local economy. The Cinco hyperscale campus is the first of its scale for Rowan in the state of Texas. Rowan’s deeply experienced execution team will lead the development, construction, and delivery of the project. Located in Medina County, the site is roughly 440 acres and is expected to be fully operational in 2027.
“Cinco represents more than just another hyperscale data center — we are delivering the critical digital infrastructure that will unlock generational opportunities across our 21st century economy,” said Rowan CEO Charley Daitch. “This is a major milestone for Rowan, and we look forward to continuing to collaborate with our hyperscale customers, local community leaders and all stakeholders to deliver this transformational project.”
“Our community welcomes development that is done the right way — openly, responsibly, and with long-term benefits for our residents,” said Lytle Mayor Ruben Gonzalez. “Rowan’s commitment to transparency, sustainability, and partnership shows what it means to be a good neighbor. This is exactly the kind of investment that strengthens our economy while respecting the values of our community.”
The Cinco campus is expected to create approximately 600 construction jobs and more than 40 permanent jobs once operational. Following a public open house in March 2025 attended by more than 230 people, the Lytle City Council and Medina County Commissioners’ Court unanimously approved all project-related applications.
The Cinco project catapults Rowan to over 1 GW of fully contracted data center capacity across the country. The Rowan team continues to expand the company’s footprint in strategic growth markets, bringing deep experience in sustainable hyperscale development, power supply and grid, sustainable design and construction, regulatory engagement and accelerated project delivery.
