Aligned Data Centers office park conversion in Deer Valley, Phoenix
Also called: Aligned PHX-08, Aligned PHX-09
Aligned Data Centers wants to turn a vacant office park in north Phoenix into a data center campus. Phoenix's 2025 rules made it harder to build data centers near homes, so Aligned filed a claim for lost value. The city and Aligned were negotiating in 2026.
Where things stand: Aligned filed a Prop 207 claim after Phoenix's 2025 data center rules; in March 2026 its lawyer said they were working on a deal with the city.
🕒 Latest update (March 2026): Aligned was among at least 11 landowners that filed Prop 207 claims against Phoenix's new data center rules; talks with the city were ongoing.

📜 Data center rules
City council unanimously changed the general plan and zoning code for data centers. They may only go in industrial and some commercial areas, and need a special permit. They must reduce noise if within 300 feet of homes and stay half a mile from high-capacity transit.
