Building permits filed for third data center project in Cedar Rapids
CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa (IOWA'S NEWS NOW) — Another data center project is starting in Cedar Rapids, but on a smaller scale that two others already under construction. A new building permit granted by the city on June 22 shows "CLOP Cedar Rapids LLC" will own the 98,000 square-foot facility at 1515 33rd Avenue SW, an area just north of Highway 30 and west of I-380. CLOP is a branch of Oppidan, a Minnesota-based property development firm that built a similar project in Des Moines that opened in 2024. Permit data also shows the project's valuation is around $101.5 million, making it far smaller that the ones from QTS ($1.75 billion) and Google ($576 million) at the Big Cedar Industrial Center.
