CyrusOne Data Center Proposed for Yorkville

CyrusOne has proposed the construction of a data center on 228 acres of land at the northeast corner of Faxon Road and Eldamain Road in Yorkville. The site would contain a 800,000 square foot electric substation, 9 two-story buildings, and 6 stormwater detention ponds. The plan denotes 4 wetland areas and an area for future development. The site would be completely enclosed by an 8 foot tall security fence. The property is zoned M-2 General Manufacturing. CyrusOne is requesting 13 deviations from the M-2 standard. The Yorkville Economic Development Committee will be looking at the request along with staff recommendations at the next meeting on Tuesday, June 4, 2024.
