Status: Planning & Infrastructure Phase (Road/Power/Water Layout) | Location: near Palo Verde Nuclear Generating Station, Buckeye
Formally approved for industrial development in August 2024, the Tract Buckeye Technology Park has quickly emerged as one of the most ambitious digital infrastructure megaprojects in the United States. Located in the rapidly expanding West Valley near Buckeye, the development often referenced in planning documents as Project Range has entered active infrastructure preparation as of March 2026. With an estimated total investment of approximately $20 billion, the project spans an enormous 2,069 acres and is positioned to become one of the largest purpose-built data center campuses in the world. The site represents a dramatic shift in land use for the area, replacing the previously proposed “Cipriani” residential master-planned community with a large-scale technology and digital infrastructure hub designed specifically for hyperscale cloud operators and artificial intelligence computing facilities.
One of the most significant strategic advantages of the Tract Buckeye Technology Park is its proximity to the Palo Verde Nuclear Generating Station, the largest nuclear power plant in the United States. This location provides a rare opportunity for reliable, large-scale power delivery, an increasingly critical factor as data centers supporting artificial intelligence workloads demand unprecedented electricity capacity. Tract is coordinating closely with Arizona Public Service to establish a long-term, multi-gigawatt power delivery roadmap capable of supporting massive hyperscale facilities over the project’s planned 15-year build-out timeline. This “speed-to-scale” energy strategy is particularly attractive to major cloud and AI operators seeking sites where power infrastructure can keep pace with rapid expansion requirements
