SAN JOSE — A two-story 152,700-square-foot data center could be built on a 10.1-acre site in South San Jose, according to public records. The request extends a surge of proposals to develop advanced computing hubs in the Bay Area’s largest city.

Multiple proposals have emerged for some sort of development of the vacant property near the corner of Embedded Way and Hellyer Avenue since Rockpoint Group paid $15.7 million for it in 2022.
Oppidan, a real estate firm that frequently partners with Rockpoint Group on development projects, filed the proposal for the data center, which is being planned on a site next to Coyote Creek and is part of the Edenvale industrial area.
The data center would require 18 megawatts of electricity to operate and would be roughly 1.3 miles from a PG&E substation at 6402 Santa Teresa Blvd. in San Jose.
