Vermaland, a Phoenix-based land development firm, has announced plans to build a $33 billion data center industrial park across 3,300 acres in Arizona’s Phoenix-Tucson corridor. According to Vermaland , the project is designed to support up to 3 GW of capacity, positioning Arizona as a rival to Virginia’s Data Center Alley. The site is located within a federal Qualified Opportunity Zone, offering long-term investors significant tax benefits. Vermaland has integrated a hybrid energy model combining solar, natural gas, battery storage, and grid access. The company already manages 16 solar farm sites totaling over 10,000 acres, expected to deliver 2 GW of clean energy. A separate 1,700-acre zone has received Industrial-2 zoning approval for related infrastructure. As per CBRE, Phoenix led national data center growth in 2024 with 67% inventory expansion, underscoring favorable market timing for the announcement.
