The company will begin construction immediately and expects to wrap up the development by 2022.<\/p>\n<p>The cost of the expansion will amount to $200 million, the&nbsp;<em>Dallas Business Journal<\/em>&nbsp;reported.&nbsp;DPR Construction serves as the general contractor for the project.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The company began work at 4500 Like Way in July 2015 with a 500,000-square-foot facility developed by DPR Fortis Mission Critical. Over the past five years, the social media company has continuously expanded the site with new facilities. Upon full build-out, the Fort Worth digital campus will encompass more than 2.6 million square feet with an investment exceeding $1.5 billion. The digital park is LEED Gold-certified and runs entirely on renewable energy.<\/p>\n<p>The new building will be used for what the company calls \u201ccold storage,&#8221; hosting older posts or photos that are not accessed frequently. The property will house servers that are powered on only when needed, providing a sustainable solution to preserving that data. In March 2015, Facebook introduced its \u201cOn This Day\u201d feature, where users can access their old posts. In June 2018, the feature was renamed &#8220;Memories.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>In August, the company broke ground on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/facebook-breaks-ground-on-800m-tennessee-data-center\/\">its $800 million data center<\/a> in Gallatin, Tenn. That facility will span 982,000 square feet and will be Facebook\u2019s 13th data center in the U.S.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The company will spend $200 million on a 170,000-square-foot addition at the site.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":867,"featured_media":1004498185,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1586,21755,21782,21783,21742],"tags":[36580,35709],"class_list":["post-1004498182","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-dallas","category-data-centers","category-development","category-investment","category-latest","tag-dpr-construction","tag-facebook"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v23.4 (Yoast SEO v24.6) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Facebook to Expand Fort Worth Data Center - Commercial Property Executive<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/facebook-to-expand-fort-worth-data-center\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Facebook to Expand Fort Worth Data Center\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"The company will spend $200 million on a 170,000-square-foot addition at the site.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/facebook-to-expand-fort-worth-data-center\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Commercial Property Executive\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:publisher\" content=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/CPExecutive\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2020-12-09T19:49:59+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/46\/2020\/12\/Facebook-Fort-Worth-Data-Center-Expansion.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"800\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"620\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Pavel Cazacu\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:creator\" content=\"@cpexecutive\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:site\" content=\"@cpexecutive\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/facebook-to-expand-fort-worth-data-center\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/facebook-to-expand-fort-worth-data-center\/\",\"name\":\"Facebook to Expand Fort Worth Data Center - Commercial Property Executive\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/#website\"},\"primaryImageOfPage\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/facebook-to-expand-fort-worth-data-center\/#primaryimage\"},\"image\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/facebook-to-expand-fort-worth-data-center\/#primaryimage\"},\"thumbnailUrl\":\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/46\/2020\/12\/Facebook-Fort-Worth-Data-Center-Expansion.jpg\",\"datePublished\":\"2020-12-09T19:49:59+00:00\",\"author\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/#\/schema\/person\/caac04e9f88552f7c898ba456c2498d8\"},\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/facebook-to-expand-fort-worth-data-center\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/facebook-to-expand-fort-worth-data-center\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"ImageObject\",\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/facebook-to-expand-fort-worth-data-center\/#primaryimage\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/46\/2020\/12\/Facebook-Fort-Worth-Data-Center-Expansion.jpg\",\"contentUrl\":\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/46\/2020\/12\/Facebook-Fort-Worth-Data-Center-Expansion.jpg\",\"width\":800,\"height\":620,\"caption\":\"Facebook Fort Worth Data Center Expansion.
