New Facility in 2025
5CDC said the expansion will start with a 140,000-square-foot facility called PHX01, which will go live next year within miles of Downtown Phoenix.
“Expanding our footprint to Phoenix marks a significant milestone for 5C Data Centers as we continue to support the growing demand for high-performance and sustainable data center solutions,” Steve Perez, the company’s CEO, said in a press release Wednesday.
The planned Phoenix data center is designed to handle demanding artificial intelligence and machine learning workloads with a system that minimizes water and power usage.
“This project will bring economic growth and high-quality job opportunities to the area. We are excited to see this substantial investment and infrastructure improvements to the neighborhood,” Phoenix Councilwoman Laura Pastor said in the release.
