Building permits filed for third data center project in Cedar Rapids
Cedar Rapids, Iowa, is seeing a new 98,000 square-foot data center project by CLOP Cedar Rapids LLC, a branch of Oppidan, with a valuation of $101.5 million. This comes as the Linn County Board of Supervisors has enacted an 18-month moratorium on new data center projects in unincorporated areas, though this specific project is on industrially zoned land within city limits and received no city incentives. It's the third major data center development in the area, following larger projects by QTS and Google.
CLOP Cedar Rapids LLC, a subsidiary of Minnesota-based property development firm Oppidan, has filed building permits for a new 98,000 square-foot data center in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. The facility, valued at approximately $101.5 million, will be located at 1515 33rd Avenue SW, on land already zoned for industrial use.
Cedar Rapids Mayor Tiffany O'Donnell confirmed that the project includes no city incentives and noted it is a smaller development compared to the $1.75 billion QTS and $576 million Google data center projects already underway at the Big Cedar Industrial Center. The new project's building permit, issued by the city on June 22, is valid until March 2028. The development proceeds amidst an 18-month moratorium on new data center projects recently passed by the Linn County Board of Supervisors, which applies to unincorporated parts of the county.
