QTS Chicago 1

QTS Chicago 1 sits on a 30-acre campus at 2800 South Ashland Avenue, near Chicago's downtown corridor, and is designed as a two-building facility at full build-out — QTS is currently pre-leasing the second building. The operator specifies a closed-loop cooling system that it states consumes no water for cooling, a distinction from evaporative systems common at large US data centers. QTS does not publish power capacity, IT load, rack count, maximum density per rack or year built for the campus. The building holds LEED Gold and Energy Star certifications, and the site includes leasable customer office space, flexible workspace on request, and dedicated EV charging spots. QTS markets the campus on flexibility and scalability for customers moving from colocation into larger dedicated footprints, a positioning consistent with the operator's broader mega-scale platform. Because the second building is still in pre-leasing, prospective tenants evaluating QTS Chicago 1 today are effectively choosing a single-building campus with room to expand, rather than a fully built two-building site.
