Raeden Jacinto City data center
Raeden proposes converting a vacant 30-acre former glass bottle plant on Fidelity Street in Jacinto City into a 50 MW AI inference data center, over the city council's stated opposition. Also known as: Houston Hyperscale (site marketing name).
Who is behind it
The record, newest first
KPRC reported that Raeden is negotiating with the property owner, that city leaders unanimously oppose the plan, and that the project could require a special use permit. (KPRC Click2Houston, Sept. 11, 2026)
At a town hall, residents largely opposed the plan. Raeden's president said the company aims to start construction in October and operate by March. The city manager said a special use permit with noise, emissions and bond requirements is planned. (ABC13 Houston (KTRK), Sept. 12, 2026)
Jacinto City council approved Resolution 2026-10R opposing data centers in the city. (North Channel Star, July 10, 2026)
Hoodline reported that a 30-acre heavy industrial lot at 4202 Fidelity St. was being marketed for data center use, with 40 MW deployable in 2026 and a path to 79 MW. (Hoodline, May 14, 2026)
Conflicts and open questions
- Megawatt figures differ between Raeden (50 MW) and the site's sale materials (40-79 MW).
- The street number, 30-acre size and marketing figures come from Hoodline's report on the Fidelity Street site; the Raeden reports (KPRC, ABC13) name only Fidelity Street, and KPRC says the owner chose Raeden over another company.
- Hoodline gives the plant address as 4202 Fidelity St.; its report on the site being marketed does not name Raeden.
