Growth Since 2023 Launch

Sustainable Infrastructure and Energy Efficiency
EdgeCore's Mesa facilities incorporate an air-cooled design featuring a closed-loop chilled water system that requires minimal water usage. The campus has been designed to meet LEED BD+C v4 Silver standards and implements a waste management program aligned with the Zero Waste International Alliance's hierarchy. It also includes native landscaping and a pollinator garden to support local biodiversity while reducing water consumption.
Due to these sustainable building and operational initiatives, EdgeCore reports that its first data center in Mesa (PH01) received Green Globes for Existing Buildings certification in 2023. The second (PH02) and third (PH03) data centers, currently under construction, have been awarded the Designed to Earn the Energy Star certifications.
Community Commitment
In addition to infrastructure growth, EdgeCore has pledged ongoing financial and philanthropic contributions to the Mesa community. Through local partnerships, employee volunteerism, and support for small businesses, the company aims to play a role in the region's economic and social development.
