Infomart Heliport

The primary reason for closure was the change in the building's core function and ownership. The Infomart was transformed from a technology marketplace and mixed-use office complex into a high-security data center and carrier hotel. A heliport was no longer aligned with the new operational requirements, which prioritize physical security, structural integrity for heavy equipment, and maximizing rooftop space for critical infrastructure like industrial cooling systems, backup generators, and communication arrays.

The site of the former heliport on the roof of the Infomart building is no longer an aviation facility. The rooftop space has been completely repurposed to support the building's function as one of the most connected data centers in the United States. It is now occupied by extensive HVAC and cooling equipment, power infrastructure, and a dense array of satellite dishes and communication antennas essential for a carrier-neutral colocation facility.

When active, the Infomart Heliport was a private rooftop facility serving the tenants and high-profile visitors of the Infomart building. Opened in 1985 along with the iconic building, it functioned as a prestigious amenity for executive and corporate transport. Its main operation was to provide rapid, point-to-point travel for executives to and from regional airports like DFW International and Dallas Love Field, bypassing ground traffic. Its existence symbolized the high-tech, business-focused nature of the Infomart during its era as a world trade center for the technology industry.

There are no known plans or prospects for reopening the heliport. Reopening is considered extremely unlikely, as the building's current use as a critical, high-security data center is fundamentally incompatible with helicopter operations. The security protocols, noise, vibration, and liability associated with a heliport are contrary to the needs of a data center environment. The rooftop space is far more valuable for supporting the data center's core infrastructure than for aviation.
