Google signed a 25-year government property lease excise tax, or GPLET, with the city of Mesa in July 2019 to assist in purchasing the more than 185 acres for the data center campus. The GPLET agreement put Google on the clock to complete the construction of the first phase of the data center by July 2025. Per a development agreement with Mesa, Google must also spend $600 million in capital expenditures.
By 2027, Google must spend $800 million, with $240 million in taxable construction and have constructed at least 500,000 square feet of development. By 2029, those figures jump to a minimum spend of $1 billion, $300 million in taxable construction costs and at least 750,000 square feet of development built out.
The entire project is expected to be finished in 2030. Google is also required to have an average annual salary for full-time data center employees of at least $65,000.
