Cuasar Capital and KA URBE IT to build 300MW AI-focused data center campus in Durango, Mexico

By: IDCNOVARegion: Latin America
A major new data center campus is set to be developed in Durango, Mexico, as Cuasar Capital—part of the Spanish group EOSOL—and KA URBE IT have formalized a partnership to jointly market the Cuasar Data Center campus in the state. The project is designed to position Durango as an emerging hub for artificial intelligence and digital services infrastructure in Latin America.

The development will comprise two facilities, with the flagship DC Norte Uno delivering a total capacity of 300MW, of which 250MW will be dedicated to IT loads. Situated on a 20-hectare site, the facility is designed as a Tier III campus and specifically engineered to support high-density AI workloads. The second facility, DC Norte Dos, will offer 7.74MW of capacity, also with a Tier III classification, and will target edge computing and industrial applications. The partnership enables both companies to jointly market the full campus to prospective tenants.

The scale of DC Norte Uno would rank it among the largest data center developments announced in Mexico to date, underscoring the country's growing appeal for hyperscale and AI-ready infrastructure. According to KA URBE IT, the campus will benefit from access to three carriers via the Phoenix–Querétaro connectivity corridor, providing robust routes to link the facility with major markets and digital infrastructure hubs across North America.

The project has also drawn support from local authorities. The Durango government previously signaled its backing through a letter of intent for the construction of two Cuasar data centers, with a combined investment estimated at approximately $3.4 billion. This public-private alignment reflects a broader trend across Mexico, where state and federal governments are increasingly courting digital infrastructure investments to spur economic development.

Cuasar's development is further underpinned by EOSOL's established footprint in Mexico's energy sector. The company operates several photovoltaic projects in Durango and other states, and maintains a portfolio of renewable energy initiatives on an international scale. Cuasar reports more than 1GW of projects currently in operation, with an additional 4.5GW in the development pipeline—a critical advantage given the substantial power demands of AI-centric data centers.

KA URBE IT, for its part, focuses on greenfield and build-to-suit projects spanning renewable energy and data center infrastructure, and has previously concentrated its activities in Chile. The partnership with Cuasar marks a strategic expansion of its presence in the Mexican market.

The announcement comes at a time when data center demand across Latin America is accelerating, driven by cloud adoption and the proliferation of AI applications. By combining sizable capacity with access to renewable energy and cross-border connectivity, the Durango campus could serve as a blueprint for future large-scale digital infrastructure projects in the region.
