Amazon Web Services has filed Texas building registrations for two new data center campuses, a $1.2 billion, four-building project called Project Eagle in Wharton County and a three-building campus called Horizon Junction near Floydada. The filings, made with the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation, are permit-level paperwork, not press releases, and they lay out addresses, costs and construction windows AWS has not put in any announcement.
Why it matters
Site selection at this scale tells developers, contractors and power planners where hyperscale demand is actually landing next, months before ground is visibly broken. TDLR’s Architectural Barriers registrations require a real address, a named owner and a construction schedule, which makes them a harder signal than a groundbreaking photo. Amazon Data Services, Inc. is listed as owner on both, with Houston-based Gensler as design firm on the Eagle buildings. For a developer or GC scoping a Texas AI-infrastructure job, this is a look at where AWS’s land and labor bets are landing before the trade press catches up.

The numbers
Project Eagle sits on Eaglewood Road in Boling, Wharton County, roughly 60 miles southwest of Houston. TDLR’s own registrations for Buildings A and B put each at 189,060 square feet and $300 million, with construction starting August 1, 2026; Building A is set to finish January 1, 2027, Building B by August 1, 2027. Combined across four buildings (A through D), that is $1.2 billion. Horizon Junction, filed for three buildings (B, C, D) on County Road 241 near Floydada in Floyd County, carries the same 189,060-square-foot, $300 million-per-building specs, a combined $900 million, with construction running August 2026 to April 2027.
What’s next
Both campuses run on TDLR’s registered construction clock through 2027, which sets a concrete window for site work, substation buildout and labor demand in two rural Texas counties unaccustomed to hyperscale traffic. Track the broader buildout on our data centers topic hub.
