QTS Realty Trust has submitted plans to the City of Glendale to build a 16-building, nearly 3MSF data center campus north of Camelback Road along Cotton Lane.
The QTS PHX 3 campus covers 391 acres adjacent to the Allen Ranches community on land QTS purchased in the C|303 industrial park for $255.3M in 2022.
Local news outlets report the 16 buildings will each be at least 180KSF. The multi-phase project will begin with the buildings planned for the southern portion of the property and build out over several years.
In addition to the data halls, the buildings will provide office and operations areas. The buildings will be developed in pairs, and the project will include a 29-acre substation. The planned power capacity for the project is 750 MW.
QTS currently has two other data center projects in development on McDowell Road and 40th Street in Phoenix. The company is owned by the alternative investment management firm Blackstone, which has more than $1T in assets under management.
