Tract Norwalk Data Center Park Iowa 282 Acre Campus

Status: Proposed / Development Agreement Approved   |   Location: Delaware Street & Western Boundary Site, Norwalk, IA 50211, USA

Project Overview

The Tract Norwalk Data Center Park, also known as Project West, is a proposed $12.0 billion master-planned hyperscale data center campus on a substantial 282-acre site in Norwalk, Iowa, positioned to support large-scale digital infrastructure growth across the Des Moines metropolitan area. Developed by master land developer Tract, the project is designed as a shovel-ready data center site capable of accommodating multiple hyperscale facilities and large tenant deployments over time. Its scale provides significant room for campus expansion, allowing data center operators to develop multiple buildings as demand for cloud computing, artificial intelligence and other high-density workloads continues to grow. A major advantage of the development is its planned horizontal infrastructure, which is intended to prepare the site for rapid data center construction and reduce the infrastructure requirements that individual tenants would otherwise need to establish independently. The master plan includes dedicated electrical substations, supporting the high and continuously increasing power requirements associated with hyperscale computing environments. Planned water and sewer connections provide essential utility infrastructure for campus operations, while dark fiber links are designed to support high-capacity private connectivity between facilities and regional network infrastructure. The combination of prepared land, power infrastructure, utility connections and fiber connectivity gives the project a strong foundation for multi-building development and phased tenant deployment. Its location in Norwalk also places the campus within the broader Des Moines data center market, providing access to an established regional technology and utility ecosystem while maintaining sufficient land for large-scale expansion. By bringing together 282 acres of development capacity with planned substations, utilities, horizontal infrastructure and dark fiber, the Norwalk Data Center Park is positioned as a major hyperscale development platform rather than a single-building facility. The project could provide the physical and utility foundation needed for multiple generations of data center deployments, supporting the Des Moines region's growing role in hyperscale cloud, AI and digital infrastructure.
