AAIM Data Center: Minnesota 1 Data Center

AAIM Minnesota 1 Data Center in Blue Earth, Minnesota provides colocation infrastructure for high-performance computing, enterprise data, and crypto mining workloads in southern Minnesota. The facility is positioned along Highway 169 near local utility and fiber infrastructure, giving AAIM a power-focused deployment site outside the Minneapolis–Saint Paul metro. Minnesota 1 is part of AAIM’s Midwest data center platform and is designed for adaptable compute environments that require scalable power, regional network access, and purpose-built deployment capacity.

The Blue Earth facility is a 10,000 sq ft building located between the Blue Earth Light and Water substation and a nearby commercial corridor. AAIM’s Minnesota page lists 15 MW for the site and an in-service date of June 2025. The facility supports colocation use cases and aligns with AAIM’s focus on high-performance computing, enterprise data, and digital asset infrastructure. The site benefits from access to lower-cost local power, nearby substation infrastructure, and high-speed fiber availability from Bevcomm.

Blue Earth sits in Faribault County near the southern Minnesota border, roughly 120 miles south of Minneapolis and close to the Blue Earth River, Interstate 90, and U.S. Highway 169. This location supports energy-intensive infrastructure in a community with municipal utility engagement and available industrial development space. Minnesota 1 gives AAIM a strategic base for continued Minnesota expansion while serving customers that need compute capacity outside dense urban markets.
