Digital Realty CH3 is a 305,000 gross sq ft data center facility located on a 12.24-acre campus at 1400 East Devon Avenue in Elk Grove Village, Illinois, supporting enterprise colocation, cloud deployments, and high-density workloads within the Chicago data center market. The facility delivers 30.6 MW of critical IT capacity across 148,750 sq ft of raised-floor whitespace distributed across 17 computer rooms, providing substantial capacity for organizations requiring scalable and resilient digital infrastructure. CH3 is designed to accommodate a range of enterprise and cloud requirements, while its high-density capabilities support workloads with increasing compute and power demands. N+1 UPS and cooling infrastructure provides additional equipment capacity to support maintenance and operational resilience, helping protect critical workloads from individual infrastructure component failures. Connectivity is a central feature of the facility, with dual subterranean carrier-neutral dark fiber entrances providing diverse physical network routes into the data center. This architecture supports access to multiple network providers and helps organizations build resilient connectivity strategies. CH3 also provides direct access to Digital Realty’s Service Fabric, enabling interconnection with Chicago carrier hotels and major hyperscale public cloud providers. These connectivity options support hybrid and multicloud architectures, private network connections, enterprise applications, and high-volume data exchange while reducing the need to route traffic through less direct network paths. Its location in Elk Grove Village places CH3 within one of the Chicago region’s established data center and connectivity clusters, providing access to a dense telecommunications ecosystem. With 30.6 MW of critical IT capacity, 148,750 sq ft of raised-floor space, 17 computer rooms, redundant UPS and cooling systems, diverse dark fiber entrances, and Service Fabric connectivity, Digital Realty CH3 provides a scalable infrastructure platform for enterprise, cloud, and high-density computing requirements.
