5C Data Centers, a provider of state-of-the-art data center services, has announced plans to launch a new region in Phoenix, Arizona. The first facility in the region, PHX01, is scheduled to go live in 2025.

Located in one of the fastest growing hyperscale data center regions in North America, and within miles of downtown Phoenix, the first data center will comprise 140,000 square feet and 20MW of critical IT power capacity. With 5CDC’s experience designing for the latest GPUs and direct-to-chip liquid cooling, PHX01 will be able to accommodate the most demanding AI and machine learning workloads, supporting power densities of up to 132kW per cabinet.

“Expanding our footprint to Phoenix marks a significant milestone for 5C Data Centers as we continue to support the growing demand for high-performance and sustainable data center solutions,” said Steve Perez, Chief Executive Officer of 5C Data Centers.

5CDC continues to prioritize its commitments to climate responsibility in its expansion to Phoenix. Adiabatic trim cooling and heat-tolerant coolant inlet temperatures will minimize both water and power usage.

Known for its access to renewable energy, availability of talent, and low natural disaster risk, Phoenix has established itself as a key data center region. By expanding into the region, 5CDC will join the rapidly growing industrial ecosystem of Greater Phoenix.

“I am thrilled to welcome this 5C Data Center to my district. This project will bring economic growth and high-quality job opportunities to the area. We are excited to see this substantial investment and infrastructure improvements to the neighborhood,” said Councilwoman Laura Pastor.

“Data center investment is a vital component to meeting the growing advancements of the technology cluster,” said Greater Phoenix Economic Council President & CEO Chris Camacho. “5C Data Centers’ work and commitment to operating with sustainable practices will help Greater Phoenix’s high-tech ecosystem continue to grow.”
