Data center firm Edged has topped out its data center in Des Moines, Iowa.
The company this week said it had topped out its facility in Ankeny, just north of Des Moines, marking the completion of the building’s structural frame.
The facility will offer 13MW of capacity across 105,000 sq ft (9,755 sqm) and utilize a waterless cooling system from sister company ThermalWorks. The facility will support densities of up to 70kW per rack with air cooling and 200kW per rack.
The company broke ground on the site, at 9100 SE Four Mile Drive, in May 2025. The facility is set to go live in 2026.
“Today marks a major milestone in bringing advanced, sustainable infrastructure to Ankeny. This facility will deliver the secure, high-performance environment our customers need to power the next generation of heavy compute,” said Mitch Fonseca, chief operating officer of Edged. “I also want to thank the crew for their dedication to safety, completing the structural phase on time and injury-free reflects the excellence we strive for on every build.”
Reports that Edged was looking to develop a campus on 17.5 acres in the area surfaced last year, with plans for a two-building campus.
Edged (formerly Edged Energy) is part of Endeavour, which was set up by Aligned founder Jakob Carnemark. The company has data centers either operating or in development in Bilbao, Madrid, and Barcelona in Spain; Lisbon, Portugal; and across the US, including Missouri, Arizona, Texas, Georgia, Iowa, Ohio, and Illinois.
