860,000 sq ft Trident data center 23001 E 48th Ave, northeast Aurora | 350 feet Buffer from homes In the project plan |
334 MW Power capacity 28 emergency generators planned | Oct 12, 2026 City Council vote Mayor Coffman calls for a no vote |
A data center campus proposed by Vantage Data Centers at 23001 E 48th Ave, in the Airport District zoning of northeast Aurora. The plan is 860,000 square feet with 334 megawatts of power capacity and 28 emergency generators. The application went in August 2025. The city approved up to $38.9 million in tax incentives over 10 years in June 2025.
Mayor Mike Coffman will ask City Council to vote against the project on October 12. He acted after public backlash from nearby residents, and he acknowledged the city faces a litigation risk from the developer. A community meeting with the developer is being scheduled. The next project submission deadline is October 26. Brighton and Arvada are weighing data center moratoriums of their own, and Broomfield passed an 18-month pause in July.
Buyers will ask about it, so sellers and their agents need the facts first. Neighbors raised generator noise, power lines and building scale. If the council votes no, the question goes away. If the project moves forward, buyers near E 48th Ave will weigh it in their offers. Either way, disclose what you know and price to recent sales. Get a free home value report.
Northeast Aurora is one of the metro's biggest supplies of newer homes. The 80019 ZIP code has 254 homes for sale today at an average list price of $553,543 and 91 average days on market, so buyers have room to negotiate. Ask your agent where a listing sits relative to E 48th Ave and the airport district, and check the city's planning records before you remove your inspection contingency. See Aurora new construction, Aurora single-family homes, Aurora townhomes, Aurora ranch homes, Aurora homes under $400K and Aurora FHA-eligible homes. Buyers in this market ask for more: read seller concessions in Colorado and why Colorado leads the country in price cuts.
