ORD11 occupies an eight-story, 146,000 sq ft building at 600 South Federal Street in Chicago, directly fiber-connected to Digital Realty's flagship 350 East Cermak facility a few blocks away and marketed as an extension of that Midwest carrier hub. The operator specifies N+1 redundancy for both UPS and cooling, runs the site on 100% renewable energy, and lists more than 85 network providers with a presence in the building. Digital Realty does not publish ORD11's power capacity, IT load, rack count, maximum density per rack or year built; space is offered from single cabinets to private data center suites. Security matches Digital Realty's standard package: 24/7 onsite personnel, CCTV with 90-day backup, and biometric or photo-badge access control. Certifications are narrower than at some of the operator's European buildings — SOC 2, SOC 3 and PCI-DSS, without the ISO layer seen at Digital Realty's Amsterdam or Frankfurt sites. ORD11's value proposition rests largely on its fiber tie to 350 East Cermak: customers get access to that building's dense carrier ecosystem without competing for space inside Chicago's most congested facility.
