MSPA1, Stream Data Centers’ second facility in Chaska, Minnesota (aka Minneapolis II) was a ground-up build-to-suit facility for one of the nation’s largest commercial banks. As part of a comprehensive data center consolidation plan, bank leaders looked to Stream for a new core data center that would complement their primary Tier IV data center. On a prime data center site Stream acquired in 2013, we began construction in January of 2017 and the bank took occupancy less than a year later in December of 2017. The Tier III Design-certified facility supports 2.4 MW of 2N critical load and is designed to expand by an additional 2.4 MW and 30,000 SF. The structurally enhanced building is designed to withstand 185 MPH winds and uplift, is located outside FEMA’s 500-year flood plain and has two diverse utility feeds from two substations to ensure resiliency.
