Hyperscaler seeks to buy 2,200-acre Florida site for data center
A hyperscaler is seeking to purchase a 2,200-acre property in Osceola County, Florida, to build a new data center.
Proposed development size and location
The proposed site covers approximately 2,200 acres of land in Osceola County. This area is currently designated for agricultural use but is being offered to hyperscalers. The property listing has been available online since July 2026.
Power supply and infrastructure plans
Regional power company Duke Energy has confirmed it can supply the required electricity to the completed facility. Local residents have expressed concern that existing infrastructure may be outdated for such a large project. The development would significantly expand the industrial footprint of the region.
Community concerns about impact
Residents worry that the new data center will affect local wildlife and water reserves. They note that farmland has already been redeveloped for housing and other industries in recent years. The proposed facility would occupy an area larger than New York's Central Park.
