Provider notes
Water. Closed-loop, air-based ThermalWorks waterless cooling; Edged projects it will save more than 52 million gallons of water annually versus a similar-sized conventional data center. Supports up to 70 kW/rack air-cooled, 200 kW/rack with plug-and-play liquid integration.
What the source record says
AI-focused colocation developer (not a Big-5 hyperscaler) building a waterless-cooled, high-density facility at 9100 SE Four Mile Drive, Ankeny (address confirmed via secondary aggregators; coordinates are city-level, not parcel-geocoded — mark approximate). Design PUE 1.15 portfolio-wide; ThermalWorks closed-loop cooling claims >52M gal/yr water savings vs conventional. Third-party trade press (Site Selection Magazine, via search only — not independently fetched) cited a $187M investment and a 105,000 sq ft building; not included here since I couldn't confirm those two figures on a page I fetched myself. Also be aware: a 2024 DCD article (403'd on fetch, so NOT used as a source) described a much larger 'I-80 Commerce Center' two-building proposal (~535K + ~775K sq ft) at what looks like the same general site/intersection under 'Commerce Center LLC' — possibly an earlier or future-phase master plan for the same park. Could not verify, so this record covers ONLY the confirmed Edged 13.2MW project. Worth a follow-up pass to see if the 13.2MW figure has grown, since news headlines referenced the building having since 'topped out.'
Any MW value is reproduced as source-reported context. Its measurement boundary is not established consistently enough for comparison. Unknown is not zero.

Sources and attribution
These sources are listed for the whole row. Unless a figure links to its own source, the provider does not mark which one gave it, so a figure may not appear in every source.

Compute Atlas 1.34.1 with retained prior rows and publication holds. This is a DataCenterData composite, not an unmodified publisher edition. This row uses the captured source from 1.34.1, source as of 2026-10-14T20:40:52.293Z.
That does not mean the row is wrong, and it does not mean no reviewed record exists for the same place. A link is added only when an identifier or source establishes the match.
