Edged US has celebrated the topping out of two data center buildings at its Council Bluffs, Iowa, campus, marking the completion of the structural frameworks for OMA01-1 and OMA01-2 and signaling a significant construction milestone in the company's push to deliver large-scale digital infrastructure to the Omaha-Council Bluffs region.

A Major Structural Milestone in Council Bluffs

The topping-out ceremony brought together executives from Edged US alongside representatives from Turner Construction Company, Jacobs, local stakeholders, trade partners, and members of the broader project team.

The gathering recognized the collective effort required to bring the campus this far through the construction process. The two buildings, designated OMA01-1 and OMA01-2, sit within what the company describes as the growing Omaha-Council Bluffs technology corridor.

Completing the structural framework of both facilities represents progress toward the company's stated goal of delivering up to 200 MW of data center capacity across the full campus once construction is finished.

Bryant Farland, Chief Executive Officer of Edged US, framed the milestone as a reflection of the company's broader investment strategy. "Reaching this milestone reflects our continued commitment to investing in communities that are positioned for long-term growth," Farland said.

"Council Bluffs offers the infrastructure, workforce, and business environment needed to support large-scale digital infrastructure development, and we're proud to be expanding our presence in the region."

Construction Partners and Safety Recognized

Edged US used the topping out event to publicly recognize the contributions of its two primary project partners.

Turner Construction Company was acknowledged for its leadership role in managing construction, while Jacobs was recognized for its partnership and technical expertise throughout the development process.

The company also credited trade contractors, suppliers, utility partners, and consultants for helping advance the project safely and on schedule. Safety was given particular emphasis during the ceremony.

Project leaders acknowledged the commitment of every worker on site in reaching the topping-out milestone without incident, underscoring safety as a central theme of the event. Mitch Fonseca, Chief Operating Officer of Edged US, spoke to the significance of the milestone beyond its purely physical dimensions.

"Topping out represents much more than the completion of a building's structure," Fonseca said.

"It's a reflection of the partnership, planning, and hard work that have brought us to this point. We're proud of the progress being made in Council Bluffs and grateful for the teams and community partners helping make this investment possible."

Economic Impact for the Region

Edged US pointed to the project's economic contributions throughout the construction phase and into the long-term operational period. During construction, the campus is described as supporting hundreds of skilled workers while creating opportunities for local contractors, suppliers, and service providers active in the area.

Once the campus becomes operational, the company indicated it will contribute to the local tax base and support economic development throughout the region over the long term.

The development is positioned as part of a broader strategy to strengthen the Omaha-Council Bluffs market's standing as a destination for digital infrastructure investment.

The company did not specify an operational date for the campus in its announcement, noting only that construction remains on track as work progresses toward the next phases of development.

Positioning the Omaha-Council Bluffs Corridor

Council Bluffs, Iowa, sits directly across the Missouri River from Omaha, Nebraska, and the two cities together form what Edged US refers to as a technology corridor.

The company's decision to invest in the area reflects a broader industry pattern of data center operators targeting markets outside traditional coastal hubs, where land availability, power infrastructure, and workforce conditions can support large-scale campuses.

The OMA campus, identified by the airport code for Omaha's Eppley Airfield, is designed to serve hyperscalers, technology providers, and large enterprises, according to the company's description of its customer base.

Edged US operates across major U.S. markets and describes its North American platform as rapidly expanding.

The full 200 MW capacity target for the Council Bluffs campus represents a substantial build-out, with OMA01-1 and OMA01-2 representing the first two structures to reach structural completion. Additional phases of construction are implied by the company's references to continued progress, though specific details on subsequent buildings or timelines were not disclosed in the announcement.
