That location is probably relevant. The Google data center is about a mile from zip 89074. The area within 89074 is almost all suburbs except the Pacific Business Center. The Google center in zip 89011 could easily rent space in a building in 89074 to expand its hardware infrastructure. The short distance of the data transfer over Google fiber optic would eliminate any data transfer latency, so it'd function like all the hardware is in the same building.
If there's a lot of steam from the cooling towers, it means the AC system is under a heavy load. That'd be expected for cooling a data center where the ambient temperature is usually kept to around 65F. In Arizona, keeping the data center cool would be the main reason to put it underground.
So because of those cooling towers, I think this Google building is the data center Q was talking about. The zip code being off shouldn't matter. It may have been off because the Q team traced it to a router in zip 89074.
I don't see any steam. Its like its not even in operation. But then again, I don't see any steam coming off the Switch data centers across town. And those sites are surrounded by walls. Google's site is surrounded by fencing.
That's Google's new data center ... 560 W Warm Springs Rd, Henderson, NV 89011

Very interesting find.
I drive past that data center a few times a week. Two large buildings and massive cooling structures. What's odd is the parking lots are almost empty.
