Meta’s Mesa Data Center Goes Live, Boosting Arizona’s Tech Landscape

On January 30, 2025, Meta announced that its Mesa Data Center is now fully operational, officially becoming part of the company’s vast global infrastructure. This facility will support Meta’s technologies and services, connecting billions of people worldwide. Since breaking ground in 2021, Meta’s presence in Mesa has contributed significantly to the local economy, marking a major milestone for Arizona’s growing role in the tech industry.

Meta’s decision to establish a data center in Mesa highlights the city’s appeal as a tech hub. Allison Grigg, Senior Vice President of Economic Development at the Arizona Commerce Authority, noted that Meta’s investment reflects the state’s pro-business environment, access to a skilled workforce, and dedication to innovation. “Meta revolutionized the way we connect, communicate, and innovate, and we are proud to welcome them to Arizona,” said Grigg. “Their decision to invest in Mesa is a testament to our state’s strategic location and commitment to fostering high-tech industries.”

According to Brad Davis, Meta’s Director of Data Center Community and Economic Development, several key factors influenced the company’s choice of Mesa. The city offered excellent infrastructure, access to renewable energy, and a strong talent pool for both construction and operations staff. Davis also credited Mesa’s supportive community partnerships for helping the project progress efficiently. “We came to Mesa four years ago because it offered everything we needed to succeed, and we’re thrilled to call it home,” Davis said. “Our thanks go to the City of Mesa, the Arizona Commerce Authority, DPR Construction, the Eastmark community, Salt River Project, and all of our local partners for helping us reach this milestone.”

Meta’s operational data center is more than just a win for the company—it’s a significant development for Mesa and the greater Phoenix Metro area. The new facility is expected to create numerous job opportunities, from construction roles to permanent operational positions. Beyond job creation, Meta’s presence is likely to attract other tech companies and investments, solidifying Mesa’s reputation as a thriving tech hub. This development will also support community growth, with Meta investing in local infrastructure, education, and sustainability initiatives.

The ripple effect of Meta’s data center extends to the real estate market as well. As new jobs emerge and businesses flock to the area, demand for both residential and commercial properties is expected to rise. Homebuyers will see increased competition in Mesa and nearby cities like Gilbert, Chandler, and Tempe, while investors will find opportunities in office spaces and commercial developments. This economic growth will likely contribute to rising property values across the Phoenix Metro area, making it an opportune time for both buyers and sellers to enter the market.

Meta’s decision to invest in Mesa is a clear indicator of Arizona’s growing influence in the tech industry. The state’s strategic location, pro-business climate, and innovative spirit have positioned it as a top destination for tech giants and startups alike. With Meta’s Mesa Data Center now live, the future looks bright for both the local economy and the real estate market.
