Arizona: Tract announces new gigawatt-scale data center park in Phoenix, Arizona

Tract, a developer of master-planned data center parks, this week announced its acquisition of a 2,069-acre land parcel in the Buckeye area of Maricopa County. This park could potentially see up to 20 million square feet of data center space developed across as many as 40 individual data centers at full build-out. 

Eric Orsborn, Mayor of Buckeye, Arizona said: “Through our collaboration with Tract, we’ve positioned Buckeye to host one of the largest data center technology parks in the country, driving substantial revenue and ensuring a thriving, sustainable future. By identifying land near the airport, we replaced an outdated planned community with a decades-long plan for economic growth. Projects of this size require a well thought out, executable plan, especially when analyzing the infrastructure needs of communities, and we are pleased that this project reduces water demand, preserves natural spaces, and creates hundreds of high-paying jobs.” 

 “We have conviction that the Greater Phoenix market will continue to play a critical role in hyperscale data center networks,” said Grant van Rooyen, CEO of Tract. “We especially appreciate the engagement and partnership from Mayor Orsborn, City Council and Staff through this process. "
