The project is set to comprise two buildings totaling 446,000 square feet and will deliver an initial IT capacity of 40 MW with scalable capacity to meet future growth needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Partners on the project include ComEd, which will help deliver the needed electrical infrastructure. The development is expected to cost about $350 million and is scheduled to come online in two years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Owned by KKR and Global Infrastructure Partners, CyrusOne currently operates 24 sites across the U.S. The new data center campus marks a key expansion for the REIT in Illinois, where its total capital investments have now surpassed $1 billion. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity has-very-light-gray-to-cyan-bluish-gray-gradient-background has-background is-style-wide\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>READ ALSO:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/more-data-centers-please\/\">More Data Centers, Please!<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity has-very-light-gray-to-cyan-bluish-gray-gradient-background has-background is-style-wide\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>The development is taking shape at 2725 Bilter Road, just off Interstate 88. Downtown Chicago is 34 miles away, while downtown Aurora is some 10 miles southwest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The data center\u2019s site was initially designated for hospitality and retail uses. Earlier this year, CyrusOne and the city of Aurora reached an agreement, in which the company paid $15.5 million to compensate for the alteration in land use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The campus will also feature two 350-foot towers, which will accommodate a collaboration between the developer, CME Group and Google, according to <em>Yahoo Finance<\/em>. The buildings are set to house financial trading systems for CME customers, which are currently operating in CyrusOne\u2019s other Aurora data center.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-more-data-centers-to-come-online-in-chicagoland\">More data centers to come online in Chicagoland<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>According to a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/data-center-labor-shortages-take-center-stage-jll\/\">JLL midyear report<\/a> on U.S. colocation data centers, Chicago had about 818 MW completed in the first half of this year. Additionally, there were 733 MW under construction, with 1,222 MW in planning stages. A total of 466 MW were absorbed in the first six months of this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In June,<a href=\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/10b-data-center-campus-kicks-off-near-chicago\/\"> Compass Datacenters began work<\/a> on a hyperscale data center campus in Hoffman Estates, Ill.
