A Data Center Wants to Rezone 39 Acres in Northwest Prosper

Project Tomahawk seeks to rezone farmland east of FM 1385 for a data center, and to change the town's land use plan to allow it. The filings landed as Texas paused new data center grid connections.

A developer is asking Prosper to rezone about 39 acres in the northwest corner of town for a data center.

The request appears in the town's June Development Services report under the name Project Tomahawk, as two linked cases.

What is actually being requested

The first, COMP-26-0001, would amend the town's Future Land Use Plan for the site, changing it from High Density Residential and Retail and Neighborhood Services to Business Park.

The second, ZONE-26-0007, would create a Planned Development for a data center on the same ground. The report lists the property as 39.3 acres in the Parvin 1385 Addition, roughly 645 feet east of FM 1385 and 1,400 feet south of Parvin Road, and records its current zoning as Agricultural.

Both require a recommendation from the Planning and Zoning Commission and a vote by the Town Council. Neither has been approved.

What the developer says

The project is being advanced by White Rose Partners, which describes itself as a data center developer whose leadership has completed more than $11 billion in projects.

On its own website for the proposal, the company says the facility would be a single building using closed-loop cooling rather than evaporative systems, occupying less than a fifth of the site, with landscaped buffers and a public nature trail. It puts total investment in the hundreds of millions.

Its projections include roughly 500 construction jobs at peak and 20 to 50 permanent positions, with annual property taxes estimated between $1.3 million and $3.4 million. Those are the developer's own figures, published as part of its case for approval, and have not been verified by the town.

The site adjoins the existing Brazos Electric Parvin Substation, which is the practical reason a data center would look at this parcel.

The timing

The filings come as the state has paused approvals for new data centers seeking to connect to the ERCOT grid, pending audits of their power and water use ordered by Gov. Greg Abbott.

That pause governs grid interconnection, not municipal zoning. A town can still rezone land while the state review runs, but a project that clears local zoning would still face the state process afterward.

Meeting dates and case documents are published through the town.
