Cedar Rapids, Iowa, United States
QTS Cedar Rapids is an AI data center under construction with an unknown owner. In Q4 2027, we project it to host an estimated 3,669k H100-equivalents of AI compute, supported by 1,133 MW of IT power at a capital cost of $42.9 B.
The timeline of IT power and AI compute capacity is based on satellite imagery, our cooling equipment power model, chip availability, and grid operator data.
The estimated Phase 1 power matches a 616 MW load request filed by a QTS shell company, though the full two-phase plan would need more than double that.

Land clearing begins for Building 1-3.
Building 1 roof complete, with air-cooled chillers in place. Building 2 and 3 roofs are partly completed. Building 4 and 5 have a foundation.
Based on satellite imagery, the Buildings 1-3 shells look complete. Buildings 4-6 are far along, with roofs largely in place, while the eastern Building 7 foundation is well underway. No buildings operational yet.
Similar to April, Buildings 1-3 shells look complete. Buildings 4-6 are still far along, and the eastern Building 7 foundation is still underway.
Buildings 1-3 are operational. Based on the expected completion date reported by local news: “A QTS spokesperson said in July [2025] that the first phase of the project was expected to be completed in late 2026."
Buildings 4-7 are operational. Based on the expected completion date reported by local news: “A QTS spokesperson said in July [2025] that [...] The second phase is expected to be completed in late 2027."
