“As we continue to expand globally, Vantage is also expanding our footprint across North America to meet the growing needs of our customers and deliver high quality data centers in strategic markets,” said Jeff Tench, president, North America, Vantage Data Centers. “Our customers have identified Phoenix as an ideal location because of its low electricity costs, extensive connectivity and business-friendly environment. This is a market for hyperscalers, cloud providers and larger companies that need a presence on the West Coast for their digital infrastructure needs. “
Located on 50 acres in Goodyear’s Bullard Tech Corridor, this growing campus will include three data centers and more than 1 million square feet when fully developed. This location will provide Vantage’s hyperscale, cloud and enterprise customers with a viable alternative to the space-constrained and more expensive Silicon Valley market.
“We are delighted that Vantage has chosen Goodyear as its flagship location in the Southwest. The company’s commitment to sustainability is demonstrated by design choices that virtually eliminate the use of water for cooling, ”said Vice Mayor Brannon Hampton. “The City of Goodyear has established itself as a dynamic location by attracting high-tech companies and knowledge-based workplaces. We look forward to a sustainable partnership when the first facility opens its doors next year. “
Vantage makes environmental stewardship a priority in Arizona, as it does in each of its global markets. The campus will use a closed chilled water system with air side economizers that will allow for reduced energy consumption based on the outside temperature. The system does not use continuous water, a critical feature in this region, making the planned water use efficiency (WUE) close to zero (liters / kW / h). This approach, along with other design features and access to renewable energy, enables Vantage to achieve industry leading Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE). Vantage is also committed to achieving net zero carbon emissions on every campus by 2030.
Vantage continues to focus on expanding its presence in North America and worldwide. This milestone follows two global expansions for Vantage, recently launched in both Asia Pacific and South Africa.
On Tuesday, November 23rd, the topping-out ceremony was held on site to place the last steel girder on the data center structure. Attendees included Vice Mayor Brannon Hampton, Councilor Joe Pizzillo, Councilor Sheri Lauritano, Councilor Bill Stipp, Councilor John Raeder, City Worker and Layton Construction officials (general contractor).
