Oppidan/Rockpoint Data Center (Embedded Way & Hellyer Ave)
San Jose, Santa Clara County, CA
Oppidan/Rockpoint Data Center (Embedded Way & Hellyer Ave) is an announced data center project in San Jose, CA. Reported capacity is 18 MW. Oppidan (real estate firm frequently partnering with landowner Rockpoint Group, which paid $15.7M for the site in 2022) filed a proposal, per public records, for a two-story, 152,700 sq ft data center on a 10.1-acre site near the corner of Embedded Way and Hellyer Avenue in the Edenvale industrial area of South San Jose, immediately next to Coyote Creek. Would require 18MW, about 1.3 miles from PG&E's Santa Teresa substation (recently doubled to 80MW capacity and built to expand further). Part of a broader surge of data center proposals across San Jose. Reported Aug 2026. [Reviewed 2026-10-09: verified] Oppidan filed Special Use Permit SP26-020 on 2026-08-03 for a 152,676 sq ft, 18 MW data center at 865 Embedded Way near Embedded Way and Hellyer Avenue in Edenvale, confirmed by multiple credible sources including The Real Deal and Compute Atlas.
