Cedar Rapids Southwest Data Center (33rd Avenue SW)
Oppidan Connect (filed as CLOP Cedar Rapids, IA LLC). Approved
A third, much smaller data center is planned in Cedar Rapids at 1515 33rd Avenue SW, on land already zoned for light industrial use so it did not need a special city council vote. The building permit, valued at about 101.5 million dollars, was approved on June 22, 2026 for a roughly 98,000 square foot facility. The project is owned by CLOP Cedar Rapids LLC and is being developed by Oppidan Connect, which also built a smaller data center in Des Moines.
