STACK Infrastructure announced its plans to develop a five-building, 230MW campus in the heart of central Phoenix, Arizona. This massively scalable 50-acre campus will be developed to support the increasing demand for critical capacity in this rapidly growing data center market.
Located in the center of Phoenix, near the largest hub of long-haul fiber and metro network providers in the region, the new campus will offer strong connectivity for innovators in one of the most active hyperscale data center markets globally. The more than 1.7MSF campus will include a low water use design that supports client sustainability targets and offers the flexibility that hyperscale, cloud, and large enterprise companies need in today’s market. Easily accessible from Sky Harbor International Airport, the campus will also feature a dedicated onsite substation to power the future campus and will run on 100% renewable energy, a standard initiative across STACK Americas’ data center portfolio.
In addition to STACK’s existing 80-acre, 150MW site in the Phoenix region, this new hyperscale campus will bring STACK’s total investment in the region to 380MW across 130 acres to support hyperscale capabilities in a location with ideal access to California and other major Western U.S. markets. Along with low power costs and access to renewable energy resources, Arizona offers tax incentive opportunities, and the Phoenix region presents an ideal alternative to other Western U.S. locations that have higher costs and disaster risks.
