Data Center Campus
Takanock: Project Baccara
Campus at a Glance
Backed by DigitalBridge, the Project Baccara development is an ambitious 160-acre industrial project spearheaded by Takanock, located near the Luke Air Force Base. This strategic site, situated 15 miles west of Phoenix, is adjacent to a major training base for the Air Education and Training Command that is also a designated "superfund site" due to historical soil and groundwater contamination.
The master plan features two massive two-story data centers, each spanning approximately 1 million square feet, supported by an on-site 700MW natural gas power plant set to occupy 23.7 acres. Construction is scheduled to begin in Q3 2026, with a phased rollout that aims to bring the first data center online in Q1 2028 and the second building online by Q1 2030.
While EPCOR manages the water and sewer services, the project is expected to be a major regional employer, creating roughly 1,000 construction jobs and 200 permanent operational roles.

Operating Company
Founded in early 2023, Takanock is a stealth-mode company focused on solving the looming power shortage in the data center industry. Takanock has developed a patent-pending data center design, enabling utilization of backup generators as flexible grid resources without jeopardizing reliability during periods of grid outages.
To help encourage the adoption of the Takanock design, has evolved into a "tip-of-the-spear" data center developer. Since the beginning of 2024, Takanock has assembled a portfolio of sites across the United States and is in the process of permitting and entitling these sites for use as data centers. Once shovel-ready, Takanock will sell these sites to data center operators looking to build, own and operate the next generation of digital infrastructure.
