📋 Tender Overview
Scope
Microsoft is planning to build a two-building, 632K SF data center campus in San Jose as part of its global goal to build up to 100 hyperscale facilities each year.
The tech giant has filed plans to build the complex on 22 vacant acres at the intersection of Orchard Parkway and Component Drive near the Guadalupe River.
Three water storage tanks will be constructed on the northwest side of the property as part of the cooling system for the data center campus, along with two one-story buildings that will house mechanical equipment to operate the tanks.
The Orchard Parkway site includes a power substation and an onsite, high-voltage switching station owned by Pacific Gas & Electric.
According to the project plans, Microsoft will break ground on the first hyperscale facility in July 2024 and complete the unit in December 2024; the second data center building will be completed in 2028.
