Trident Data Center (Vantage Data Centers)
Vantage Data Centers. Filed
Vantage Data Centers wants to build Trident, a two story, 1.5 million square foot data center on 108 acres at the northwest corner of E-470 and East 48th Avenue in Aurora, next to the Green Valley Ranch neighborhood; the application remains under review, allowed by right in the site's industrial zoning with no public hearing required, even as Vantage said in October 2026 it would spend up to 90 days evaluating alternative sites farther from homes. On October 26, 2026 the Aurora City Council voted 6 to 5 on Mayor Mike Coffman's push for an indefinite moratorium on new data center applications, falling short of the seven votes needed under council rules, so no new moratorium took effect; a moratorium would not have applied to Trident's already submitted application in any case. The same evening the council advanced a separate zoning change requiring new data centers to sit at least 750 feet from residential zones.
