Edged Energy Files $287M Fit-Out for Fort Worth Data Center

Fort Worth’s permit queue logged a $286.6 million interior fit-out application on Oct. 23 for a data center shell at 9700 Team Rockbrook Parkway in Fort Worth. The filing’s own project name is “Edged Energy Outpost Building 1, Interior Fit-Out.” It covers interior work inside the building shell, not new construction, and sits in Pending status with the city as of this week.

Why it matters

For Fort Worth’s electrical and mechanical trades, a fit-out permit this size points to server halls, cooling plant and switchgear, the phase that pulls in MEP subcontractors rather than the shell builder. The “Building 1” label suggests Edged Energy plans more than one building at the address, though the permit does not describe others. Permits like this show where the region’s data center buildout is landing before any press release names a campus.

The numbers

• $286,593,125.50 declared value, the cost basis on the interior fit-out alone, separate from whatever the shell itself cost to build
• Filed Oct. 23, 2026, still Pending through City of Fort Worth plan review as of this week
• Site legal description spans three separate survey abstracts, Abstract 623 Tract 1L, Abstract 493 Tract 1F1 and Abstract 1117 Tract 1C1, at 9700 Team Rockbrook Pkwy, Tarrant County
• Filed as a commercial remodel under the storage and warehouse use code

What’s next

The permit has to clear Fort Worth plan review before fit-out work can start on site. A companion filing nearby would confirm a multi-building campus. More: Dallas-Fort Worth, DFW’s data center pipeline. ERCOT’s regional load forecasts are the next number worth checking as fit-outs like this one convert from permit paper into actual power draw.
