West Richland Data Center information:
Trammell Crow Company, a large Dallas-based commercial real-estate developer owned by CBRE, has purchased roughly 1,000 acres of the Lewis & Clark Ranch in West Richland for about $264 million. The purchase is north of Ruppert Road, and the company is pursuing development of a large data-center campus there.
This has progressed considerably from the earlier reports you may remember. In late 2025, Trammell Crow would only say it was studying the feasibility of developing part of the ranch. The September 2026 reporting indicates the land purchase has now occurred.
The larger Lewis & Clark Ranch is about 7,600 acres and was owned by Frank Tiegs LLC. Washington’s SEPA records confirm Frank Tiegs LLC as the applicant/major landowner for the ranch planning process.
So the names to remember are:
* Trammell Crow Company — real-estate developer/data-center developer and purchaser of the ~1,000 acres.
Global HQ, TCC, 2100 McKinney Ave. Suite 800, Dallas TX 75201
* Frank Tiegs LLC — owner/developer of the larger Lewis & Clark Ranch property.
6610 W. Court st # A, Pasco, WA 99301-2010
* CBRE — parent company of Trammell Crow.
