Phoenix represents the company’s sixth data center market, up from two
markets 12 months ago, following its expansion into Northern Virginia
and recently announced expansion into Montreal and Quebec City through
the pending 4Degrees Colocation acquisition. The Phoenix campus will
total 160MW of critical load and more than 1 million square feet once
fully developed. It will be the largest of Vantage’s seven current and
planned campuses when complete.
The site, located just outside of Phoenix in the city of Goodyear, will
be home to three data centers. This expansion will offer Vantage’s
current and future customers premium wholesale data center space in a
high-growth Tier I market, driven by demand from hyperscale and cloud
providers, as well as technology, e-commerce and enterprise companies.
“We continue to strategically expand Vantage’s footprint based on
customer and market demands,” said Sureel Choksi, president and CEO of
Vantage Data Centers. “This newest development in the southwest is an
ideal location for our customers due to its tax incentives, low power
costs and rich connectivity. Our strong sales pipeline is a testament
that customers are attracted to our high-quality data centers with a
focus on sustainable development and operational excellence.”
Design and entitlements are underway with construction expected to begin
in early 2019. The first building will total 32MW of critical load and
is anticipated to be online in early 2020.
“We are excited Vantage chose Goodyear for its largest data center
campus to date,” said Goodyear’s Mayor, Georgia Lord. “This innovative
company leads the way in energy-efficient data centers, and they are
changing the landscape of the West Valley to a forward-thinking focus.
We welcome them to our growing cluster of technology-based businesses
and foresee a great partnership emerging.”
