QTS: Hermosa Ranch

Lot Size: 206 acres

In July 2024, US data center firm QTS acquired 206 acres in the West Valley for $246.8 million in an all-cash deal from TGV Investments LLC. The land, located at the southwest corner of Avondale Boulevard and Lower Buckeye Road, is part of the Hermosa Ranch Technology Campus in Avondale and sits within a federally designated opportunity zone.

  • TGV initially filed to rezone the land for its planned Hermosa Ranch Tech Campus in 2021. Despite concerns from city staff, the Avondale City Council unanimously approved a major general plan amendment and rezoned the site in May. Previously, TGV had filed plans to allow a data center totaling 1.3 million square feet (120,775 square meters) on the site.
