Summary

City of Phoenix permit records for 4801 E Thistle Landing Dr (project 23-1632) identify the Thistle Landing Data Center: on 1 October 2026 the city entered application T971866 'FL/COMBO THISTLE LANDING DATA CENTER' for the project's private fireline connection. This records the Thistle Landing Data Center as announced on 1 October 2026. The same project already holds building permits issued before the 85-day window — 'T. LANDING BLDG. 1 & 2 FOUNDATION PERMIT' (21 May 2026), 'ME-PHX DC THISTLE L.-BUILDING 5 PERMIT' (2 July 2026) and 'THISTLE TECH DC CORE/SHELL BLD 1&2' (17 July 2026) — and a grading permit 'E THISTLE LANDING DATA CENTER G&D' (7 January 2026); they are context and do not set the status. The city layer, which publishes no inspection results, gives no completion date or certificate for these permits; the county air-quality register lists the site's 'MD-PHX1' data-centre generator source as 'Not Yet Installed' and its undated 'ME-PHX DC Buildings 1-5' dust-control registration as 'Operating'. Construction and operation are therefore not established by a dated in-window record. The developer, operator, capacity and customers are not established. evidence

Location details

Coordinates: 33.31078, -111.97812
Geometry licence: public-record-source-terms
Use scope: Campus locator
Scope class: official_tax_parcel_centroid
Authority: Official source
Source entity: Campus
Method: official_county_assessor_parcel_centroid
Derivation: direct_geometry
Precision scope: Centroid of Maricopa County Assessor parcel 301-84-899 (situs 4801 E Thistle Landing Dr, Phoenix; subdivision 'THISTLE LANDING DATA CENTER'; 38.29 geodesic acres, about 379 by 471 m). It locates the data-centre parcel, not the footprint of Building 1, 2 or 5 or a surveyed boundary.
Horizontal uncertainty: Not reported
The assessor publishes no positional accuracy for parcel polygons; the centroid represents a 38-acre parcel whose building layout is not published.
Geometry evidence: 65578546

A locator places the site on the map. It is not a building footprint, a construction extent or a surveyed boundary unless the use scope is an official boundary, and even then it is a parcel or permit boundary.
