Prologis has filed a special-use permit for another data center project in North San Jose, California. The proposal targets 326 Charcot Avenue near Zanker Road, in a part of Silicon Valley already surrounded by major technology companies and digital infrastructure.
Five Buildings Would Be Demolished
The plan calls for demolition of five existing industrial and commercial buildings and construction of a new three-story data center totaling approximately 514,000 square feet. Redeveloping an occupied industrial site adds demolition, utility relocation and site preparation to the construction program before the new facility can rise.
99 Megawatts of Power
The proposed facility is designed around an electrical demand of about 99 megawatts. That figure is central to the project because available power has become one of the hardest constraints on new data center construction in Silicon Valley and other mature technology markets.
Prologis Expands Beyond Warehouses
Prologis is best known as one of the world’s largest logistics real estate companies, but it has been moving into data centers as the value of powered industrial land increases. The San Jose proposal would add to its digital-infrastructure activity and use property in a market where land is scarce and power access can be more valuable than conventional warehouse demand.
Early Development Stage
The filing begins a city review process rather than guaranteeing immediate construction. San Jose will evaluate land use, utilities, environmental issues and other requirements before the project can proceed. If approved, the 514,000-square-foot facility would become another large electrical load in North San Jose and another example of industrial property being repositioned for digital infrastructure.

Why the Project Is in the News Now
The key development reported this week is the project milestone described in the opening of this article. That milestone changes the project from its prior stage and provides a clearer view of its current scope, schedule or path toward construction. The figures and dates above reflect the latest publicly reported information available this week.
Project Status
As of 2026-08-28, this project is at the stage described above. The latest reporting from Hoodline provides the current public milestone. Schedules, budgets and scopes on major construction programs can change as design, permitting, procurement and field work advance. iBidElectric will track later construction milestones when new verified information becomes available.
