Microsoft Data Center Slated for Phoenix
Microsoft plans to locate a new data center in a former Honeywell International factory and engineering facility near I-17 at Union Hills Drive and 25th Avenue in north Phoenix, according to the Phoenix Business Journal. The property has been vacant since 2008, when Honeywell offshored the jobs there to China and India, and is now owned by a private equity fund and other investors. The data center might be as large as 575k SF. [PBJ]
