Amazon Data Services

Amazon Data Services, a subsidiary of Amazon and its cloud computing arm AWS, acquired approximately 1,229 acres in the Cedar Creek area of Bastrop County in May 2026. The land sits within the broader data center corridor that includes EdgeConneX, CoreWeave, and Pacifico Energy / BlackChamber Partners.

What Is Known

• Land acquisition only. As of September 2026, Amazon has not announced a final development decision for the property. No construction permits, site plans, or public filings indicate active development.
• No tax abatement applications have been filed for this property.
• The acreage places Amazon among the largest single landholders in the Cedar Creek corridor if development proceeds.

Why This Matters

Residents and local reporters are already discussing the Amazon land buy. The purchase is public record. Ignoring it leaves a gap that speculation fills.

Amazon’s presence in the corridor, even at the land-only stage, signals that the Cedar Creek area continues to attract hyperscale interest from the largest technology companies in the world. Combined with EdgeConneX (166 acres, under construction), Pacifico/BlackChamber (2,842 acres, planning), and CoreWeave (tenant at EdgeConneX Building 1), the Cedar Creek corridor now accounts for roughly 4,200+ acres of data center and technology land.

Status

Land Only. No final development decision has been announced. No construction timeline exists. This page will be updated when Amazon or Bastrop County files indicate a change in status.
