ORD10 occupies Digital Realty's stake in 350 East Cermak, an eight-story, 1,005,500-square-foot (about 93,450 sqm) building on Chicago's Near South Side that the operator markets as one of the largest data centers in the world. Digital Realty says the site carries over 100 MW of utility power and hosts more than 90 network providers alongside dozens of cloud, content, financial-services, enterprise and IT tenants, making it the most interconnected multi-tenant data center in the Midwest.

Donnelley printing plant — is shared with other operators leasing separate floors and suites in the same building, including Equinix's Chicago IBX cluster, though ORD10 refers specifically to Digital Realty's own leased space.
