Description quoted from Epoch AI Frontier Data Centers

QTS Cedar Rapids sits alongside a Google data center in Big Cedar Industrial Center. It is divided into two phases which are expected to be completed in late 2026 and late 2027. We estimate its power capacity based on satellite images and 3D renderings of the air-cooled chillers lining each building. The compute capacity is based on this power capacity and the assumption that the best available NVIDIA AI servers will be used for each phase. The estimated power for phase 1 is consistent with a 616 MW load request for a QTS shell company in Cedar Rapids. However, the total capacity across both phases is more than double that, suggesting that QTS will need to acquire more power by 2027 to fulfil their plan.

Methods and sources

Ownership roles

Title identifies the legal owner of the site; operation identifies who runs it. AI-hardware ownership follows the catalog’s attribution of the machines inside, whose owner may lease the facility.

Each role requires its own attribution. An operator named in a source supplies evidence of operation only.

Parent companies

Ownership checks start with each company named at the site and follow recorded parent relationships. A company holding several roles is checked once. Its linked company page lists the relationships and their sources; further parents may remain undocumented.

Level 1 identifies a company at the site, level 2 its parent, and each further level another parent. Export-control designations and government investments are assigned to the company concerned.

Missing values

Unrecorded roles remain blank. Findings whose company position is unresolved stay in the list with that position labelled unknown.

Publication limits

Subscription corporate data helps identify parent relationships and sovereign investments. Publication is limited to relationship classes and supporting public sources; licensed records, identifiers and values are withheld.

Epoch AI estimates capacity using satellite imagery, permits and corporate disclosures. Its catalog is the source for this site record.
