Glendale City Council approved annexation and rezoning for Project Eagle/Baccara on October 27, 2026. The roughly 160-acre site near Litchfield Road and Olive Avenue, close to Luke Air Force Base, is planned for three data center buildings, 18 natural gas turbines and an APS substation. KJZZ, ABC15 and FOX 10 report the approval following debate over water use, noise and air quality. Glendale says annexation gives it greater oversight of the development, including landscaping and fencing requirements. This is a land-use approval; a construction start has not been confirmed.
