Back in November, we reported Pacific Proving had submitted plans in Mesa for a major new data center project on 178 acres at the NEC of Pecos Road and the Crismon Road alignment on land that sat partly in Mesa and partly in Maricopa County. (AZBEX, Nov. 15, 2023)
In that article, we said, “The request from landowner Pacific Proving would annex the property into Mesa and consolidate the disparate zoning designations to allow for the development of a data center campus featuring six individual data centers of 400KSF and 60 MW of installed capacity each, according to the conceptual site plan.”
Local news outlets reported this week that the proposal has been expanded and resubmitted as a data center and technology campus project.
Under the revised plan, the campus will have 11 buildings with a total built area of more than 2.5MSF. Nine of the buildings are planned as data centers or for flex use. One will be a 150KSF office building with three stories, and the last is intended as a 95KSF warehouse. There will also be an electrical substation as part of the development.
Pacific Proving’s request includes a rezoning, design review and annexation of the entire site into Mesa. No hearing dates have been scheduled as of press time.
