Powered industrial site for AI data centers in Minnesota
PacinfraX develops AI data center capacity on a powered industrial site in Minnesota. The site pairs industrial land with power at the property and room to phase, so a hall can move from design to energization on a short path. It serves hyperscalers, AI labs, neoclouds and enterprises that want a Midwest location in the United States.

What a powered site gives you
Four advantages of starting on a powered industrial site
The four advantages in detail
- Power at the site boundary. A powered industrial site already has electrical capacity brought to the property, so design starts from a known power path.
- Industrial zoning and land. Heavy construction, large buildings and equipment yards fit the land use, which keeps the approvals path shorter.
- Room to phase. You take the hall you need now, and the next blocks follow on the same site as your load grows.
- A cool climate for cooling plant. Cold winters in the Midwest reduce cooling effort for much of the year and suit liquid-cooled halls.
The result is a shorter path from requirement to racks. Read how this fits our power-first approach.
How PacinfraX develops the site
From site review to energized halls
We treat power and halls as one design. Our engineers start from the site and the power available at the property, then fit the reference hall to it, so you review a single package covering electrical, cooling, network and security.
The four steps in detail
- Site and power review. We confirm the site, the available power and the constraints that shape the hall design.
- Reference hall adapted to the site. The same AI-ready, liquid-cooling-ready hall we use everywhere is fitted to the land and the power.
- Phased proposal. You receive hall, power and delivery milestones in one proposal, with the first block sized to your load.
- Build and energize. We build the halls and commission the electrical plant, then hand over for your fit-out or operate for you.

What you can build here
Three delivery models, one reference hall
-
Build-to-suit
We design a hall to your rack density, cooling method and schedule, and build it for you. This model suits hyperscalers and AI labs with a defined deployment.
-
Powered shell
You receive an energized building with power and cooling plant in place, and your team fits out the white space.
-
AI colocation
You place racks in a liquid-cooling-ready hall and we operate the facility. Start on the colocation page.
How to engage
Start with your load and your timeline
Request capacity and tell us the load you need, when racks must be powered, your cooling method and your fit-out model. We reply within two business days, then hold a requirement call, run a design review with your engineers and issue a phased proposal. Read more about power infrastructure, compare all locations, or meet the leadership team.
Landowners and EPC firms with powered industrial land can start on the partners page.
Questions
Minnesota data center FAQ
What is a powered industrial site?
It is industrial land that already has electrical capacity at the property. Because the power path is known before design starts, a data hall can be planned, built and energized faster than on land that needs new utility work first.
Who is the Minnesota site for?
It suits hyperscalers, AI labs, neoclouds and enterprises placing phased capacity in the Midwest of the United States, and teams that want a United States location away from the most crowded markets.
Which delivery models can I choose?
Build-to-suit, powered shell and AI colocation. Build-to-suit and powered shell suit teams that want control of the white space; colocation suits teams that want racks without a construction program.
Can I run liquid-cooled GPU racks here?
Yes. Halls are designed liquid-cooling ready, with coolant distribution, manifold space and floor loading planned for dense GPU racks. Cold winters also help the cooling plant.
3 more questions
How do I find out the power details for my load?
Request capacity with your load, timeline and cooling method. Our team replies within two business days and walks you through the power path and the phase that fit your plan.
Can I combine this site with another location?
Yes. The reference hall is identical across our locations, so you can place phases in more than one market with one design review and one point of contact. See all locations to compare.
I own industrial land. Can I work with PacinfraX?
Landowners and EPC partners can start on our partners page. We look for powered industrial sites with room to phase, and we share the site criteria we use.
