Google: Google breaks ground on Mesa data center campus

Google has announced that it has begun work on a new data center in the Mesa area of Phoenix, Arizona. A $1 billion project, the facility will span 750,000 square feet (70,000 sqm) once fully built out.

Previously known as "Redhawk," the project's first 288,530 sq ft (26,805 sqm) phase is due to go live in July of 2025. Further, it is set for full build-out across three phases by 2030.

Speaking to Business Journal about the development, Mesa's economic development director Bill Jabjiniak, said: "We are pleased to see Google making this tremendous investment in Mesa's Elliot Road Technology Corridor as they break ground on their cutting-edge, air-cooled data center campus." 

"Mesa's investment in critical infrastructure has made it possible for quality technology companies and advanced manufacturers to locate and thrive, strengthening Mesa's economy by bringing high-paying jobs and substantial investments," Jabjiniak added.
