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
- Permitted
Cedar Rapids confirmed the project after building permits were filed; the site has been zoned light industrial since the early 2000s, so a data center is a permitted use and no public hearing is required.
Underlying source
Source notes
Just north of Highway 30 on the southwest side. Over 98,000 sq ft, no city incentives, construction expected to start in fall 2026 or early spring 2027 depending on equipment availability. Permit documents name the applicant entity as CLOP Cedar Rapids, IA LLC. The Gazette reports the facility is intended for networking, signal boosting and storage rather than AI training or inference, so no AI classification is recorded — the existing classification options cannot express 'assessed, not AI.' Oppidan built a comparable 60,000 sq ft, 5 MW facility in Des Moines in 2024, which is tracked separately as of September 2026.
