Edged Tops Out First Building at 200MW Iowa Data Center Campus, Second Due in September
Edged, a data center developer focused on sustainable infrastructure, has reached a major milestone at its Council Bluffs campus in Iowa, topping out the first building in a planned 200MW development. The company announced that the second building on the site is on track to top out in September, signaling steady progress on one of the region’s largest data center projects.
The Council Bluffs campus, which spans multiple phases, is designed to support hyperscale and enterprise workloads. The first building’s structural completion marks a key step in Edged’s broader expansion strategy in the Midwest, a region that has become increasingly attractive for data center development due to its access to renewable energy, favorable tax incentives, and proximity to major fiber routes. Iowa, in particular, has emerged as a competitive market for large-scale data center investment, with companies like Google and Meta already operating facilities in the area.
Edged’s approach emphasizes energy efficiency and low carbon impact. The company’s technology platform uses advanced cooling and power management systems to reduce overall energy consumption, which is critical as data center operators face growing pressure to meet sustainability targets. The Council Bluffs project is expected to contribute significantly to local economic development, creating construction jobs and long-term operational roles once the facilities come online.
The second building, which will add further capacity to the campus, is scheduled for structural completion later this year. Together, the two buildings represent the first phase of what Edged envisions as a major hub for digital infrastructure in the region. Industry observers note that the project’s scale and pace reflect the ongoing demand for data center capacity driven by cloud computing, artificial intelligence, and enterprise digital transformation.
