$3 billion data center campus coming to Mesa

By AZ Business Magazine

Novva Data Centers, a state-of-the-art data center company providing purpose-built facilities, announced plans to build a 300MW data center campus on 160 acres of land outside of the 202 loop at the northwest alignment of Ellsworth and Warner roads in southeast Mesa. Novva acquired the acreage via a state land auction in August 2023.

The campus is Novva’s sixth site, and first entry into the state of Arizona. The data center provider will invest more than $3 billion to build the campus in two phases over the next decade. Novva predicts the project will take 10 million human hours to construct, and the first phase, with 96 Megawatts of Critical IT Load, will launch in late 2026. Novva’s characteristic sustainability-first principles will make the facility unlike any other currently under construction in the area. Once complete, the facility will feature five data halls, an office building and warehouse with a footprint of 1.3 million square feet and employ an estimated 200 people.

Buildings feature site-sensitive architectural details like rammed earth materials, as well as a tribute to the Hohokam people that inhabited the area and built early aqueducts, an invention that many of the Salt River canals still follow today. “Innovation is timeless, and we hope to continue in that same pursuit,” says Wes Swenson, CEO of Novva Data Centers.
