When OCP Global Summit 2026 opens in San Jose on October 12, 2026, attendees will enter a California data center market with 45 active projects tracked by DCWeeklyIntel. The state's development pipeline shows 28 projects in planning stages, with smaller cohorts advancing through permitting (4), construction (4), and recently completed facilities (2 operational). Seven additional projects remain unclassified in our tracking. This planning-heavy distribution reflects the extended timelines typical of California's development process, where projects often spend 18-36 months navigating entitlements before breaking ground.

Goodman Group teams with DataBank on 32 MW Los Angeles data center
DataBank· Los Angeles, CA· commissioning
DataBank is partnering with Goodman Group to develop a 32 MW data center in Los Angeles expected to open in December. This represents DataBank's expansion into the LA market, working with real estate developer Goodman Group who likely provides the land and development expertise. The facility adds significant colocation capacity to the competitive Los Angeles market. This is a moderate priority opportunity as the facility is nearly complete and operational, but could indicate DataBank's broader West Coast expansion strategy beyond their existing Texas operations.
Goodman and DataBank partner on Vernon data center
DataBank Holdings and Goodman Group· Vernon, California
DataBank Holdings and Goodman Group have formed a joint venture to market LAX2, a new data center in Vernon just south of downtown Los Angeles. This represents a strategic partnership between DataBank, a mid-tier colocation provider, and Goodman Group, an Australian industrial real estate developer, to enter the competitive Los Angeles market. The facility is positioned to serve the LAX market area, which is a key connectivity hub for trans-Pacific traffic and enterprise customers in Southern California. For BD professionals, this signals a new capacity option in the tight LA market from operators looking to establish or expand their West Coast presence. The project appears to be in early marketing phases, making this an opportune time for early engagement.
