Highlights
- Mesa Planning Commission unanimously recommended approval of NTT Data Group's 2.2 million-square-foot data center campus on May 13.
- NTT Data Group, headquartered in Tokyo, paid $300 million for the 173-acre Pecos Road site in March 2025.
- The project calls for seven buildings and a private power substation alongside a new Salt River Project substation.
- The hearing lasted 10 minutes, a contrast to a four-hour Chandler council session last December over a competing data center proposal.
Tokyo-based NTT Data Group Corp. cleared a key regulatory hurdle May 13 when Mesa Planning Commission members voted unanimously to recommend approval of the company's 2.2 million-square-foot data center campus at 10126 E. Pecos Road, advancing a project the company assembled for $300 million.
NTT Data Group acquired the 173-acre parcel in March 2025. The campus plan calls for seven data center buildings, a private power substation, and a new Salt River Project substation on the site.
The 10-minute hearing was notably quiet. It stood in contrast to a four-hour Chandler City Council session last December, when a group of red-clad attendees formed a striking opposition to a data center project known as Price Road Innovation Campus, one of many data center projects in the Valley facing increasing scrutiny, as the Phoenix Business Journal and Data Center Dynamics have both reported.
Who is behind the Mesa project?
The buyer is NTT Data Group Corp., a Tokyo-headquartered technology company that acquired the 173 acres at 10126 E. Pecos Road in March 2025 for $300 million. The company's principals are not yet disclosed beyond the corporate parent in available public records.
The recommendation now moves to the full Mesa City Council for a final vote.
