Digital Realty has reportedly filed to construct a new data center in Chicago, Illinois. The application for construction on the facility outlines that it would span 565,000-square-foot (52,500 sqm) as a 13-story building at 321-337 E. 21st Street, which is opposite 350 E Cermak carrier hotel.
The company already has a strong presence in Chicago, operating nine data centers in the city. Moreover, in association with this new project, the company has announced plans to build a small bridge to connect the two facilities.
Projections are that the project will reach $500 million. Further details around timelines are yet to be released.
