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
Announced 2016; Microsoft's largest Iowa campus (1.7M sq ft once built out), at 5855 SW Kerry St. Distinct parcel/campus from all Microsoft IA records tracked as of August 2026. Other reporting (not independently retrieved as of August 2026) says the site spans 160 acres in Warren County + 40 in Madison County, and totals $1.5-2B investment; as of that date only the Warren County / building-address / sqft facts were independently confirmed from sources read directly. Business Record's April 2025 listing of Iowa data centers gives Project Osmium's site as 110 acres.
