Company Seeks to Build 2-Million-Square-Foot Data Center in Indiantown

A recently formed company has applied to build a 2-million-square-foot data processing center in the Village of Indiantown, according to village records, adding Martin County to a growing list of Treasure Coast communities targeted for large-scale data facilities.

Silver Fox 606, the applicant listed in village records, proposes to locate the facility at 13820 Silver Fox Road. The company was founded in April 2025 and lists Nelson Ferreira as its sole manager, according to Florida Division of Corporations records. State records show Ferreira owns a Juno Beach-based construction business.

Ferreira did not respond to media inquiries Tuesday, according to WPTV, which first reported on the project.

The Martin County Recorder's Office shows the company received a mortgage related to the property with a principal amount of $35 million, of which $12 million was disbursed up front in June 2025.

The proposed data center is the third such facility discovered to be in the planning stages across the Treasure Coast and Palm Beach County region, joining previously reported proposals in St. Lucie County and Palm Beach County. In both of those cases, the ultimate ownership of the facilities has been difficult to trace.

Village staff indicated during a meeting in May 2025 that Indiantown has drawn interest from multiple data center developers.

"It's not the only inquiry for data centers that we've got right now," an unnamed village staffer said at the meeting. "So, I think at some point or another there's going to be some huge potential there."

The village has not yet posted the pre-application or site plan on its website. A public records request for those documents was pending as of Tuesday.

Some Indiantown residents have expressed opposition to the project, though none agreed to speak publicly, according to WPTV. The village has a population of roughly 6,500.

Shona, an Indiantown resident who gave only her first name, characterized the development as unavoidable.

"It's God's world, you know," she said. "It's going to happen, you know. Things are going to change. We just have to be prepared for it."

Data centers — large facilities that house computer servers for cloud computing, artificial intelligence and data storage — have drawn scrutiny across Florida as developers seek rural sites with available land and power capacity. The ownership structures behind such projects have raised questions from residents and local officials in multiple counties According to available information,.

Village officials have not announced a timeline for reviewing the Silver Fox 606 application.
