QTS Realty Trust has formally announced a new data center in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, skipping a traditional groundbreaking ceremony in favor of a direct public announcement reported by the Corridor Business Journal. Cedar Rapids joins a growing list of Midwest markets attracting large-scale data center investment as operators seek lower land costs, cooler climates, and available power capacity. QTS has not yet disclosed the campus size or total capital investment, and further project details are expected in coming weeks.
