QLevr Inver Grove Heights Data Center

PRJ-0559 · Site · 5890 Carmen Avenue, Inver Grove Heights, Minnesota, United States

Record last updated Oct 28, 2026

Scope and capacity

The City of Inver Grove Heights confirms a final moratorium-exemption reading on September 14, 2026 and major site-plan approval on September 28. The development contract and building permit remain separate requirements; this is not confirmation of construction or operation. QLevr proposes a roughly 55,000-square-foot data center on an approximately 14-acre industrial parcel at 5890 Carmen Avenue in Inver Grove Heights. The city found the project exempt from an environmental assessment worksheet in July 2026, while the major site plan was then unresolved amid a data-center moratorium, a proposed project-specific removal and threatened developer litigation; the September city decisions provide the later approval history.

Headline: 5 MW Planned / design
