Prime Chicago ORD01 Data Center Campus, also known as Prime Chicago ORD01, is a data center project in Elk Grove Village, IL, US associated with Prime Data Centers. Three hyperscale buildings; 958,000 square feet; 270 MW total critical IT power at campus buildout. Adjacent-substation Chicago campus with closed-loop air and liquid cooling and 17 carriers in proximity. 72 MW is the operating ORD01-01 facility design. Prime currently markets 270 MW for the campus, while its 2022 announcement described a 175 MW master plan; both remain future-planning context rather than operating load. Disclosed investment or financing context is recorded with its transaction scope and is not treated as delivered project cost or proof of capacity.
