What the source record says
Filed with San Jose's planning department as a revised proposal (reported April 2025) on a site previously approved in 2018 for an entertainment/hotel complex that was never built. Two buildings proposed: a three-story, 295,100 sq ft data center and a 167,400 sq ft energy-supply hub (~462,500 sq ft total), designed by CallisonRTKL. A second phase is reported to include a greenhouse heated by data-center waste heat, supplying a community retail store. Widely reported elsewhere as the largest data center proposed in California to date (a 417 MW figure appears in aggregator listings), but this session could not confirm the MW figure via a source it directly fetched, so capacityMw is omitted. Terra Ventures reportedly sought approval for a related data-center-plus-power-plant project on the same site in 2023.
Any MW value is reproduced as source-reported context. Its measurement boundary is not established consistently enough for comparison. Unknown is not zero.
