Lumen Minneapolis 1 Data Center 222 S 9th Street Minnesota

Status: Operational   |   Location: 222 S 9th Street, Minneapolis, MN 55402, USA

Project Overview

Lumen Minneapolis 1 is an operational downtown carrier gateway and enterprise colocation facility located at 222 S 9th Street within the Campbell Mithun Tower in Minneapolis, Minnesota, serving enterprises and network-dependent organizations across the metropolitan area. Positioned in the city’s central business district, the facility provides a strategically located environment for secure edge hosting, enterprise colocation, hybrid IT infrastructure, and low-latency connectivity between business networks and cloud platforms. Its downtown location places customer infrastructure close to major commercial users and regional network routes, supporting applications that benefit from proximity to enterprise offices and connectivity ecosystems. The facility is directly integrated into Lumen’s global fiber backbone, providing access to high-capacity network infrastructure for data transport, cloud connectivity, and communication between geographically distributed enterprise environments. Power resilience is supported through an N+1 UPS configuration, providing additional capacity to maintain critical IT operations during equipment failures or planned maintenance activities. N+1 precision cooling systems provide corresponding redundancy for thermal management, supporting stable operating conditions for servers, networking equipment, and other customer infrastructure. The facility also incorporates multi-layered physical security controls designed to protect customer equipment and restrict unauthorized access to critical areas. High-speed direct connectivity to major public cloud providers supports hybrid and multi-cloud architectures, allowing enterprises to connect colocated infrastructure with cloud-based applications and services. This connectivity model enables organizations to combine dedicated data center resources with public cloud capacity while maintaining efficient network access. As a downtown carrier gateway, Lumen Minneapolis 1 also supports network-intensive applications requiring reliable interconnection within the Minneapolis market. With its combination of central business district location, carrier connectivity, resilient power and cooling systems, security controls, and cloud access, the facility provides infrastructure for enterprises managing distributed, cloud-enabled, and mission-critical IT environments.
