DataCenterData’s confidence in this record’s sourced fields, not in the project
Developer: Not named in the cited records
Operator: Not named in the cited records
Owner: Owner of record not established
Tenant: Not named in the cited records

No primary-source critical IT, utility-service or measured-load figure was established.
Location: Yorkville, IL
County: Kendall County
Approximate location — Generally northwest of Illinois Route 47 and Galena Road, south of Baseline Road and east of Ashe Road. No parcel identifiers or occupied street address are published here.
Physical scale: The original application describes 14 planned data-center buildings totaling more than 17 million square feet across approximately 1,037 acres and 20 parcels. A separate 2026 annexation-agreement amendment concerns seven parcels totaling about 305 acres; that subset is not added to the original acreage.

What the sources support

Yorkville's amendment page says the Project Cardinal annexation agreement was approved November 10, 2025 via Ordinance 2025-78. This is approval of that agreement, not proof that every rezoning, PUD, permit or construction step is complete. The same page describes a later deadline amendment request and undeveloped farmland; no construction record was reviewed. Pioneer Development is identified as petitioner and contract purchaser, not treated here as a verified developer or operator.
