Updates, newest first

  1. July 21, 2026 The CEC issued a notice that it will prepare an environmental impact report for 42 diesel backup generators (25-SPPE-02). (Governor's Office of Land Use and Climate Innovation, CEQAnet, July 21, 2026; California Energy Commission, undated)
  2. Nov. 1, 2025 Baxtel reported Goodman had bought the site and planned two buildings totaling 414,000 sq ft with up to 97.3 MW by 2028. (Baxtel, Nov. 1, 2025)
  3. June 30, 2025 An application for an 81-foot data center of about 206,000 sq ft at 350 W. Trimble was filed with the city (CP23-013). (City of San José, Planning Division, undated)

Conflicts and open questions

  • Square footage differs: about 206,250 sq ft on the city list, 414,000 sq ft per Baxtel (possibly two phases). Site acreage: 28.5 (CEC) vs. 45.8 for the whole property (Baxtel).
  • That GIC San Jose LLC is Goodman's entity is inferred from Baxtel's report and a shared contact with GIC Vernon LLC, not confirmed.
