Source-reported capacity; not metered consumption. Review underlying documents and notes. Planned capacity may include future phases and is not added to operational capacity here. The source may use facility, grid-feed or IT capacity definitions; consult the linked documents.
Coordinate precision is a source label, not an independent parcel survey. A marker does not confirm utility territory or establish an effect on residential bills.

Groundbreaking with ComEd on hyperscale campus
Underlying source - Under construction
Village board approved a revised plan consolidating the original three two-story buildings into two three-story buildings plus a second electrical substation. First building targeted for 2027, second for end of 2030.
Underlying source - Under construction
Mid-permitting the revised design (~3,700 drawing sheets, 1,500+ pages of structural calcs); village hired outside firm HR Green to review it. Cranes active on the fenced 50-acre site as of January 2026.
Underlying source
Source notes
$2.5B, ~1.5 million sq ft across three two-story hyperscale buildings (each >80 MW) on a 49.7-acre site; ComEd grid partnership. Update: the village board approved a revised plan (~Oct 2025) consolidating the original three two-story buildings into two three-story buildings plus a second electrical substation, superseding the building-count description above; confirmed delivery targets are the first building in 2027 and the second by end of 2030. As of July 2026, CloudHQ was mid-permitting the revised design (~3,700 drawing sheets, 1,500+ pages of structural calcs); the village hired outside firm HR Green to review it. Construction is active, with cranes on the fenced 50-acre site as of January 2026. Public reception, as of 2026-09-10: the Daily Herald's Mount Prospect coverage and the original CloudHQ groundbreaking press release could not be read past a paywall or block. Notable circumstantial signal: the Village of Mount Prospect maintains its own dedicated 'Community Information and Fact Check Portal' page specifically for this project, which typically indicates the village has been fielding enough resident questions/concerns to warrant an official FAQ/rebuttal page -- but that page's content could not be read either, so no public-reception status is asserted from an inference that could not be verified. Search results also point to reporting, not read directly, that Illinois data-center opposition broadly 'escalates' statewide and that the village sought outside help on Biometric Information Privacy Act (BIPA)-related permitting questions; neither could be confirmed as specific to community opposition at this site. Public reception is therefore given as unknown rather than guessed.
