Overview
A Data Center Beside the Fab
Project Comal is KDC Real Estate Development's data center campus on 220 acres directly northeast of the Samsung Taylor fab: six buildings and two substations for 360 MW at 1051 County Road 401 in Taylor. Taylor City Council approved it unanimously on March 26, 2026, annexing about 48 acres and approving an employment center, and it is the clearest case on the US 79 corridor of a data center locating next to a chip plant.
KDC, a Dallas developer known for corporate build-to-suit campuses, agreed in 2024 to market and develop 150 acres owned by Prophet Capital Management, later adding CM Realty land to reach 220 acres. Construction is expected to take about 3.5 years with up to 3,000 construction jobs, and the project has been reported at $2.5B. No tenant has been named.

Beside the fab
Sharing Samsung's Transmission
Oncor built high-voltage transmission into Taylor for Samsung. Comal uses the same grid, fiber and labor market as the fab next door, which makes it the shortest distance on the corridor between where advanced chips are made and where AI workloads would run on them. Most data centers locate near power; Comal locates near power that a fab paid to bring in.
Comal is one of four Taylor-area data centers proposed within about 18 months of Samsung's buildout, with Blueprint Taylor minutes away and Project Mustang on the east edge of town.
