Data center and apartments are under construction in metro Phoenix

Do you ever drive by an empty lot or a construction site and wonder, "What's that gonna be?"

State of play: We do! With an insane amount of new development in the Valley, it can be hard to keep up with all the new things coming to our neighborhoods.

• We want to help. If you see something you want more information about, send us the intersection (and a photo, if possible!) and we'll look into it.

I drive by this large development on Loop 202 a few times per week. I finally decided to pull over and see what it is.

Details: According to the signage at this construction site, QTS Data Centers is building — you guessed it — a data center.

• According to the company website, it will be part of an 85-acre, multi-building campus.
• QTS is working with SRP to locate a power substation on the property, according to AZ Big Media.
• It will also include thousands of square feet of office space.
