Project Baccara Data Center

planned

The Glendale City Council unanimously approved a pre-annexation development agreement for a new project featuring two data center buildings. The project will feature two data center buildings in Glendale, potentially storing information such as medical records and national security data. The data center will be powered by 700 Megawatts of natural gas generators supplying power to the data center and the regional power grid. The Maricopa County Board of Supervisors will review necessary project permits and other aspects on May 6. Construction is expected to start later in 2026, with the first data center building expected to be online in 2028 and the second in 2030. Residents and opponents have expressed concerns regarding noise, environmental impacts, and potential interference with nearby Luke Air Force Base operations. Developers at Takanock state the project is compatible with Luke Air Force Base and will create hundreds of jobs and millions of dollars of new tax revenue for schools.
