Notes on the record

investmentUsd is $300M land purchase only; total buildout investment is substantially higher. NE corner of Pecos and Crismon roads, far SE Mesa. Seven two-story buildings totaling 1.7M sq ft + warehouse + office. NTT's second Phoenix-area campus (existing 102-acre, 240MW campus is ~4 miles north on Elliot Road). Phase 1 targeted November 2028. Coordinates approximate for Pecos/Crismon intersection. Status refresh 2026-08-08: the Planning & Zoning Board recommended approval 4-0 in mid-May 2026; the article (updated 2026-06-08) said the proposal "will likely be heard in late July or mid-August by council". No fetched source records a Council vote, so the status stays "proposed", the 2026-07-20 date carried in earlier notes was an expected hearing date, not a decision.
