Rio Grande Industrial Park – Premier Data Center Development Site

Rio Grande Industrial Park – Premier Data Center Development Site

Location: NEQ Hwy 304 & Navarro Dr, Valencia County, NM
Size: ±365 Acres
Zoning: B-M (Business Manufacturing), Rio Communities I-3 (Heavy Industrial), Valencia County

Seize a rare opportunity to develop a large-scale data center in one of New Mexico’s most strategic locations. Rio Grande Industrial Park offers ±365 acres of shovel-ready land adjacent to the Valencia Power Generation Station, delivering unmatched access to power and infrastructure for rapid deployment.

Why This Site Stands Out

Rapid access to power positions Rio Grande Industrial Park as the leading site in the region for new data center developments. Gridworks provides direct interconnection to substantial power capacity while grid upgrades are completed—giving users a faster pathway to full buildout and operation.
