Here's where it stands and what sellers must disclose. - Author: Kasandra Chavez - Tags: Glendale, Home Selling, Market Trends **Will the Project Eagle gas-powered data center near Litchfield Road and Olive Avenue hurt my Glendale home's resale value, and do I have to disclose it?** **It could, especially for the homes closest to the site, and if you know about it, it belongs on your disclosure. A data center campus with its own natural gas power plant is a new kind of neighbor for Arizona homeowners, and buyers can react to turbine noise, construction traffic, air-quality questions, and uncertainty long before any sale data shows an effect. Describe Project Eagle accurately as a proposed project on your SPDS, and check whether your home also owes the separate Luke Air Force Base military airport disclosure.** If you live near Litchfield Road and Olive Avenue, you've watched this project change its name, change its size, and move closer to reality all in the same year. Project Baccara became Project Eagle, two data center buildings became three, and Glendale council votes are now on the calendar. Your worry about what that means for your home is reasonable and deserves a straight answer. The Valley already has plenty of data centers, but a campus that brings its own gas-fired power plant onto land near neighborhoods is new territory here, with no local track record to point to. I'll cover what's confirmed, where approvals stand, how it can show up in your sale price, and how to handle it on your paperwork. ## What Project Eagle Is Near Litchfield Road and Olive Avenue Project Eagle is a proposed data center campus with an on-site natural gas power plant on about 160 acres of unincorporated Maricopa County land north of Olive Avenue, roughly a half mile west of Litchfield Road and just north of Luke Air Force Base. Michigan-based developer Takanock first called it Project Baccara. The [City of Surprise's Project Baccara page](https://surpriseaz.gov/project-baccara?ref=blog.chavezdreamhometeam.com) places the site at the northeast corner of Olive Avenue and the Bullard Avenue alignment in an industrial area, notes that it isn't inside Surprise city limits, and names Maricopa County as the permitting body. The plan has since grown: ABC15 and AZBEX now describe three data center buildings of roughly 330,000 square feet each, plus the power plant. In February 2026, the [Arizona Corporation Commission voted 5-0 to approve an environmental certificate for the project's 700.2-megawatt gas plant](https://azcc.gov/Rachel-Walden/news/2026/02/06/vice-chair-walden-releases-statement-on-project-baccara?ref=blog.chavezdreamhometeam.com), and Vice Chair Rachel Walden noted the site is zoned heavy industrial. Owners in Glendale, Surprise, and nearby county islands are all watching the same parcel. ## Where Project Eagle's Approvals Stand in September 2026 Project Eagle has cleared several state and county approvals, but Glendale's annexation and several permits are still pending. Here's the sequence so far: 1 **February 2026: State environmental certificate** The Arizona Corporation Commission approved the 700.2-megawatt natural gas plant 5-0. 2 **April 2026: Glendale pre-annexation agreement** The council set terms for a future annexation; it did not annex the land. 3 **May 2026: County military compatibility permit** Maricopa County supervisors approved it 4-1, with conditions tied to Luke Air Force Base. 4 **August 25, 2026: Glendale workshop** The council gave informal consensus to proceed with annexation; no formal vote was taken. 5 **September 22 and October 27, 2026: Glendale votes scheduled** First the blank annexation petition, then the signed petition and rezoning. 6 **Still pending** An air permit, a plan of development, and construction permits. Status as of September 2026\. Sources: Arizona Corporation Commission, City of Glendale records, and Maricopa County actions as reported by ABC15 and Fox 10. At the August workshop, as 12News reported, Councilmember Lauren Tolmachoff said the developer already holds its county entitlement and the data center would be built whether or not Glendale annexes it. So the Glendale votes decide which government oversees Project Eagle, not whether it happens. Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes called on August 31 for a statewide pause on new data center approvals, but that's a request to the Legislature, which doesn't reconvene until January 2027, not a law that stops anything today. ## Could Project Eagle Hurt Resale Value Near Litchfield and Olive? Yes, Project Eagle could hurt resale value near Litchfield Road and Olive Avenue, and the homes closest to the site carry the most risk. The effect usually shows up first as fewer showings, more buyer questions, and tougher negotiations, well before it appears in the closed sales an appraiser relies on. This is usually where I slow sellers down, because waiting for the comps to prove an impact means reacting after buyers already have. Nearby residents have raised concerns about air quality, water use, and around-the-clock turbine noise, which one neighbor told Fox 10 would be nothing like a passing jet. Whether those concerns prove out or not, buyers will hear them, and perception moves offers. When I size up how exposed a home near Litchfield Road and Olive Avenue is to Project Eagle, five factors matter most: - **Distance to the site:** A home within view of the 160-acre parcel faces different buyer questions than one a mile or two away in Glendale or Surprise. - **Sound and sightlines:** Buyers picture turbine noise, exhaust stacks, and night lighting, so a home with rooftops or open land in between holds up better than one facing the site. - **Construction phase:** Years of grading, building, and truck traffic are typically the hardest stretch for nearby sellers, even if the finished campus proves quieter. - **The Luke overlay:** Many homes here already carry the Luke Air Force Base noise conversation, and a second industrial neighbor stacks on top of it rather than replacing it. - **Open questions:** Pending permits and the statewide pause debate add unknowns, which tend to surface as lower offers or requests for more time. I used the same reasoning with owners near [the Sarival industrial rezone in west Glendale](https://blog.chavezdreamhometeam.com/selling-near-sarival-logistics-industrial-rezone-west-glendale/): the closer and more visible the site, the more seriously the risk belongs in your pricing. "Our situation was very difficult and Kassandra was always professional and patient. She is very smart and knows what she is doing." — Julie S, Goodyear, AZ ## Do You Have to Disclose Project Eagle When Selling in Glendale? If you know about Project Eagle, it belongs on your Seller's Property Disclosure Statement, described as a proposed project with approvals still pending. Arizona sellers are expected to disclose known material facts a buyer wouldn't readily observe. I'm a REALTOR®, not an attorney, so treat this as a framework, not legal advice. The safest entry names the project, states what you know, and points the buyer to the public record without predicting the outcome. A plain version might read: "Seller is aware of a proposed data center and natural gas power generation project known as Project Eagle (formerly Project Baccara) north of Olive Avenue near Litchfield Road. As of \[date\], Glendale annexation and certain permits are pending. Buyer is advised to review Maricopa County and City of Glendale records." Review your exact wording with your agent, and an attorney if needed. I cover the full framework in [selling near Project Baccara and what goes on your SPDS](https://blog.chavezdreamhometeam.com/project-baccara-glendale-spds-disclosure-selling/), and [disclosing a nearby project without characterizing it](https://blog.chavezdreamhometeam.com/cotton-lane-expansion-spds-disclosure-selling-goodyear-home/) walks through the wording traps. Many sellers here also miss a second disclosure. [A.R.S. § 28-8484](https://www.azleg.gov/ars/28/08484.htm?ref=blog.chavezdreamhometeam.com) requires a seller's written disclosure when a home sits in territory in the vicinity of a military airport, and Luke's territory covers much of this corridor. My post on [Luke AFB noise and resale in western Glendale](https://blog.chavezdreamhometeam.com/luke-afb-noise-pollution-resale-value-western-glendale/) explains how buyers weigh it. ## What I Watch For Before Pricing a Home Near Project Eagle Before listing a home near Project Eagle, I want to see how buyers have priced homes near existing power plants and industrial yards in the West Valley, because that's the closest real evidence available. What I watch for here is whether homes a similar distance from an established industrial neighbor sold for less or sat longer than comparable homes farther away, and by how much. That tells us how much risk to build into your list price up front instead of through a price reduction later. At this stage, I help clients narrow their focus to timing. If you were already planning to sell within the next year or two, listing before heavy construction starts generally puts fewer unknowns in front of buyers. Measure your parcel's distance to the site on the Maricopa County Assessor map, follow the September 22 and October 27 Glendale votes, and have your disclosure drafted before you list. Buyers considering the Litchfield and Olive corridor should do the same homework inside the AAR contract's 10-day inspection period. ## Frequently Asked Questions **Where exactly is Project Eagle?** Project Eagle is proposed on about 160 acres of unincorporated Maricopa County land north of Olive Avenue, roughly a half mile west of Litchfield Road, just north of Luke Air Force Base near the Glendale and Surprise borders. **Is Project Eagle the same as Project Baccara?** Yes. Project Eagle is the current name for the project developer Takanock first proposed as Project Baccara. The plan has grown from two data center buildings to three, plus an on-site natural gas power plant. **Has Glendale approved Project Eagle?** Not yet. Glendale approved a pre-annexation agreement in April 2026, and the annexation votes are scheduled for September 22 and October 27\. The county issued a military compatibility permit, and other permits are pending. **Do I have to disclose Project Eagle when selling my home?** If you know about it, yes. Describe it on your SPDS as a proposed project with approvals pending, point buyers to public records, and check whether the separate Luke Air Force Base military airport disclosure also applies. **Could Project Eagle lower my home's value?** It could, especially for homes closest to the site or facing it. Buyer hesitation usually shows up in showings and offers first, so price with that risk in mind rather than waiting for closed sales to confirm it. ## Protecting Your Equity Near Project Eagle A gas-powered data center near a neighborhood is new for Arizona, and treating it cautiously is the right call. Project Eagle may be years from finished, but buyers are already asking about it, and the homes closest to Litchfield Road and Olive Avenue will feel that first. Describe the project accurately on your disclosure, confirm whether the Luke disclosure applies, and price against how buyers have treated similar industrial neighbors. Do that, and you'll walk away with a plan that protects your equity and holds up through escrow, whatever the Glendale votes decide.
