Vantage Data Centers Start Phase II of $1 Billion Phoenix-Area Expansion

Vantage Data Centers, a global provider of hyperscale data center campuses has begun the second phase of construction on its growing mega-scale campus in Goodyear, just outside of Phoenix.

The additional capacity is scheduled to be operational in the spring of 2024. Once fully developed, the campus will offer hyperscalers and large cloud providers 160MW of IT capacity across three facilities totaling more than 1 million square feet. Vantage is investing more than $1.5 billion into the project, which is expected to create approximately 3,000 construction and technology jobs.

The company has designed its Goodyear campus to use virtually no water for cooling, instead employing a closed-loop chilled water system with air-side economizers that allows for reduced energy use based on outside ambient temperature.

Key construction trade partners on the phase two expansion include McCarthy Building Companies, the general contractor, Corgan Architects, Rosendin Electric, Southland Industries and KW Mission Critical.
