PhoenixNAP Global IT Services is doubling down on its presence in the Valley in response to the region’s strong demand for data centers.

PhoenixNAP’s “phase two” project will begin construction in four months on a 530,000-square-foot data center and will bear the name PHX02, JLL Executive Managing Director Mark Bauer told the Business Journal. The project is more than three times larger than its existing data center already in operation nearby.

The new data center is located in south Phoenix at 3221 E Elwood St., east of Interstate 10 and across the street from PhoenixNAP’s existing flagship location.

The construction of the first floor of the data center is expected to be completed by the fourth quarter of 2026, Bauer said. The key difference between PHX02 and other data centers on the market is how it caters to smaller users, according to Bauer.
