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.
Reported lifecycle history
No dated operational history is established in this record. Publication, discovery and source-update dates are not opening dates.
Source notes
AI-focused colocation developer (not a Big-5 hyperscaler) building a waterless-cooled, high-density facility in Ankeny (Data Center News gives 9100 SE Four Mile Drive; Business Record's Iowa data center list gives 2701 S.E. 90th St. and "Acres: 37", and its council report places the 17.5-acre parcel at Southeast 90th Street and Southeast Four Mile Road; coordinates are city-level, not parcel-geocoded, so the pin is approximate). Design PUE 1.15 portfolio-wide; ThermalWorks closed-loop cooling claims >52M gal/yr water savings vs conventional. Business Record reported a $187M investment and a 105,000 sq ft building when the Ankeny City Council approved the development agreement in March 2025; third-party trade press (Site Selection Magazine, seen only in search results) cited the same two figures. A 2024 DCD article (which could not be retrieved as of August 2026, so not used as a source) described a much larger 'I-80 Commerce Center' two-building proposal (~535K + ~775K sq ft) at what looks like the same general site/intersection under 'Commerce Center LLC', possibly an earlier or future-phase master plan for the same park. This could not be verified as of August 2026, so only the confirmed Edged 13.2MW project is covered. News headlines referenced the building having since 'topped out'; as of August 2026, whether the 13.2MW figure had grown was unconfirmed.
