Aligned Phoenix mega campuses (two land acquisitions)
Phoenix, Maricopa County, AZ
Aligned Phoenix mega campuses (two land acquisitions) is an announced data center project in Phoenix, AZ, backed by Aligned Data Centers. The project is sized at 400 MW. Aggregate announcement covering two separate land acquisitions, not one specific site -- current coordinates are a placeholder matching the nearby PHX-13 facility, not this project's own location. Needs a real address once available, or splitting into two rows. [Reviewed 2026-10-09: verified] Aligned Data Centers announced two land acquisitions for Phoenix mega campuses in October 2022, confirmed by multiple credible sources; specific locations and addresses have since been identified for related projects (PHX-04, PHX-06 in Chandler, and newer Peoria and Glendale projects), but the aggregate 'two mega campuses' announcement remains as originally stated.
