Location

Yorkville, IL
County: Kendall County
approximate — 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

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.
