Large Data Center Proposed to Fill Vacant Site at 5977 Silver Creek Valley Road in San Jose
Prologis has proposed a new 500,000 square foot data center development at a vacant site on Silver Creek Valley Road in San Jose, California. The project would require 99 megawatts of energy and a water supply equivalent to 40 households. Developers plan to build an on-site substation and backup generation.
Prologis, a company involved in logistics real estate, is planning a significant new data center development at 5977 Silver Creek Valley Road in San Jose, California. The proposed multi-level structure would encompass over 500,000 square feet, including 30,000 square feet for office space, and would house equipment for data processing and storage.
The project has an anticipated energy requirement of 99 megawatts. To support this, Prologis intends to construct an on-site substation and utilize backup generation, leveraging the site's proximity to an existing PG&E substation. The data center's operations would also necessitate a water supply comparable to that of approximately 40 households. According to reports from the Bay Area News Group, Prologis has pledged to minimize the environmental impact on the surrounding area.
The development is expected to feature a functional, simple exterior design with a grey and white façade. While the focus is on utility, designers plan to incorporate landscaping and façade detailing to mitigate the building's large size. Prologis projects a two-year timeline for the construction of the facility, pending local approvals.
