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.

Source notes
60,000 sq ft, 5 MW LEED-certified data center delivered design-build by The Weitz Company for developer Oppidan. Construction started summer 2023 and completed May 2024. Oppidan's first data center in Iowa, and the model for its larger Cedar Rapids project. A street address (5900 Thornton Ave) appears in third-party listings but, as of August 2026, had not been confirmed on a page retrieved, so it is not recorded here.
