Cedar rapids approves permit for 98,695-square-foot data center
The $101 million project at 1515 33rd Ave. SW is smaller than the hyperscale facilities already under construction on the city's southwest side.
A building permit was approved June 22, 2026, for a 98,695-square-foot data center at 1515 33rd Ave. SW in Cedar Rapids.
The facility is owned by CLOP LLC and developed by Oppidan Connect, with a listed valuation of more than $101 million and permission to draw up to 10 megawatts of power, Corridor Business Journal reported.
"A building permit application has been filed for a new data center project in Cedar Rapids, but the project is significantly smaller in scope than the two hyperscale data center projects already under construction on the city’s southwest side," John Lohman and Richard Pratt wrote for the Corridor Business Journal.
No construction timeline appears in the permit records.
