MDC McAllen MCA1 — Legacy Location
Overview
TYPE3’s map data lists MDC McAllen - MCA1 as an announced retail/network-colocation facility at 200 S 10th Street, McAllen, operated by MDC Data Centers, with no supplied MW. MDC’s current MCA1 page provides the key identity qualification: it calls MCA1 a legacy site and says MDC built and consolidated McAllen’s ecosystem there, while the current interconnection ecosystem lives at MCA2, a purpose-built MDC-owned facility at 422 S 11th Street. The page remains useful evidence for historical and address identity, but it does not publish a current MCA1 electrical or IT-load figure.
PeeringDB lists MDC McAllen under both 422 S 11th Street and 200 S 10th Street, with 29 networks and MEX-IX. That supports a continuing MDC McAllen network relationship, not a conclusion that both addresses have the same active halls, power, or customer inventory. A TDLR record for MDC Annex identifies a 2020–2021 renovation at 422 S 11th Street, including conversion of an existing warehouse into a data center; it is evidence for MCA2/annex context, not a specification for MCA1.
MCA1 remains a distinct legacy-address record, and the MCA1-to-MCA2 evolution is material context. The row is valuable for cross-border network history, but it is not a verified flexible-load prospect from the sources reviewed. MCA2’s current interconnection position, third-party MCA1 estimates, and the listed zero do not establish present-day MCA1 operating load. A current MDC facility sheet would be needed before live status or capacity could be assigned.
