About Minneapolis Data Center

Archer Datacenters Minneapolis Data Center is a planned 120 MW data center campus in Faribault, Minnesota, serving the greater Minneapolis–Saint Paul market. The project is located on an 84-acre Twin Cities-area parcel and is designed for large-scale data center users seeking powered shell, build-to-suit, AI-ready, private data hall, and custom deployment configurations. Archer positions the site 45 minutes from downtown Minneapolis with direct regional access to the Twin Cities technology, enterprise, cloud, and digital infrastructure market.

The Minneapolis campus plan features 500,000 sq ft of single-story data hall capacity, 120 MW of total potential power availability, and an on-site substation with power scaling over roughly 36 months. The project includes potential 4 MW on-site renewable generation through a dedicated wind turbine and 36,000 dekatherms per day of natural gas capacity. Nearby fiber connectivity includes Lumen, Arvig, Metronet, Consolidated Communications, and Zayo, supporting carrier access for hyperscale, enterprise, AI, and high-density compute deployments.

The Faribault location places Archer south of the Twin Cities along Minnesota’s industrial growth corridor, with access to Minneapolis, Saint Paul, Rochester, Interstate 35, Rice County, and Minneapolis–Saint Paul International Airport. The site gives customers a Minnesota deployment option with land, scalable power, nearby fiber, and renewable-generation potential while remaining close to the Minneapolis data center market.
