Pioneer Development, LLC has filed an application for Project Cardinal, a sprawling data center campus planned for over 1,000 acres in Yorkville, Kendall County. The proposal outlines the construction of 14 two-story data center buildings, encompassing a total of 17 million square feet (1.57 million square meters), along with two on-site substations and a switchyard.

The project is envisioned in phases, with each phase bringing one building online within 24 months of its groundbreaking. The first data center is anticipated to be operational by 2029.

Eleven of the data centers are designed to offer approximately 1.9 million square feet (176,515 square meters) of space, while the remaining three buildings will contribute an additional 940,000 square feet (87,330 square meters).
