Carrier-Neutral Midwest Data Center for Sale
A purpose-built, enterprise-grade facility with redundant power, efficient cooling, tower income, and room to expand. Great Lakes Colocation delivers immediate revenue upside with infrastructure sized for serious buyers.
Infrastructure-backed asset with real expansion runway
Great Lakes Colocation is a fully concrete, high-availability data center owned and operated by an experienced telecom provider. The property combines redundant A/B power, efficient Trane cooling, carrier-neutral connectivity, and an on-site telecom tower with existing renters. Positioned in the Midwest on approximately 5 acres, the facility offers both current operating value and future development potential.
Power Infrastructure
Redundant A/B power architecture with two 250 kVA APC UPS systems, two 400 kVA generators, and an 800 kVA main transformer. The site has available capacity up to approximately 1MW.
Cooling Efficiency
