The Council Bluffs data center campus in Iowa has reached a major construction milestone with the topping out of two facilities, OMA01-1 and OMA01-2.

The milestone marks the completion of their structural framework and advances development of the planned 200 MW campus in the Omaha-Council Bluffs technology corridor.

Milestone Ceremony Draws Industry and Community Partners

The topping-out ceremony brought together leaders from Edged US, Turner Construction Company, Jacobs, local stakeholders, trade partners, and project team members. The event recognized the collective effort required to reach the structural completion of both buildings, with safety cited as a central theme throughout the proceedings.

The topping-out milestone reflects the continued development of the data center campus in Council Bluffs, Iowa. The project represents a significant investment in the local digital infrastructure market and is supported by the region’s infrastructure, workforce, and business environment.

The development also highlights continued progress on the campus, with construction advancing through coordinated efforts involving project teams and local community partners.

Turner Construction and Jacobs Lead Key Roles

Edged US formally recognized Turner Construction Company for its leadership role in managing construction activity on the campus and acknowledged Jacobs for its partnership and technical expertise throughout the development process.

The company also recognized contributions from trade contractors, suppliers, utility partners, and consultants who have supported the project's progress in terms of both pace and safety.

Project leaders at the ceremony specifically highlighted the safety record achieved by workers on site in reaching the topping-out milestone, underscoring the emphasis placed on worker safety throughout the construction process.

Campus Positioned Within Growing Technology Corridor

The Council Bluffs campus is located within the growing Omaha-Council Bluffs technology corridor, an area supported by infrastructure and workforce capabilities suited to large-scale digital infrastructure development. The project is being developed to meet increasing demand for data center capacity in the region.

During construction, the project is supporting hundreds of skilled workers while creating opportunities for local contractors, suppliers, and service providers. Once operational, the campus is expected to contribute to the local tax base and support economic activity across the surrounding region.

200 MW Capacity Target Remains on Track

Construction of the Council Bluffs data center campus is progressing toward subsequent development phases. Once fully completed, the campus is designed to provide up to 200 MW of capacity, supporting hyperscalers, technology providers, and large enterprises.

The topping out of OMA01-1 and OMA01-2 marks the completion of structural work on two buildings within the larger campus development, with additional phases planned as part of the overall build-out.

Broader Expansion Context

The topping out of OMA01-1 and OMA01-2 marks further progress in the development of the Council Bluffs data center campus. The project is being developed as scalable digital infrastructure to support growing demand for data center capacity in the region.

The two buildings form part of the wider campus development, which is planned to provide up to 200 MW of capacity upon full build-out.
