Inside Amazon’s nearly 3,000-acre data center project outside of Houston

Amazon’s vision for a nearly 3,000-acre data center campus just outside Houston is making waves in our area—and as someone who’s watched Katy and West Houston evolve over two decades, I know developments like this can shape the future in big ways. With $10 billion earmarked for the project, 10 new buildings, and projected use of 75 MW of power plus 500 acre-feet of water each year, it’s no surprise that local conversations are heating up around resources and community impact. By 2027, more than 150 jobs are expected to come online, bringing both opportunities and questions for our rural neighbors. Real estate has always been about more than property lines—it’s about the long-term effects on people and places, just like my grandfather taught me. As our landscape shifts, I stay focused on helping clients weigh the opportunities and challenges that come with growth, using clear strategy and a problem-solving mindset developed over years in this market.
