ORD11 Colocation Space

600 South Federal Street, downtown Chicago — between the Loop and the South Loop. The location gives tenants direct fibre access to 350 East Cermak (Chicago's primary carrier hotel) without paying Cermak's premium per-rack pricing.

ORD11 is owned and operated by Digital Realty. It's part of their Chicago portfolio alongside ORD10 and ORD12. The "ORD" code references Chicago O'Hare International Airport — Digital Realty uses IATA codes to designate metro markets.

ORD11 has 45 network providers on-site and 12 internet providers including AT&T, Lumen and Cogent. Critically, it has direct fibre connectivity to 350 East Cermak — the most interconnected facility in the Midwest. That means ORD11 tenants can reach the Cermak ecosystem at a fraction of the cost of having space inside the building itself.

ORD11 is the right choice when you need access to the Cermak ecosystem (cross-connects to Equinix CH1/CH2/CH4, network providers, etc.) but don't want to pay Cermak's per-rack premium. Direct fibre means latency is minimal. For most enterprise tenants and many financial workloads, ORD11 delivers 90% of the value at lower cost.

ORD11 has 10 MW of total power across 162,000 sq ft (142,000 sq ft of which is retrofit space). Density per cabinet varies by suite — we'll match your specific kW requirement during the assessment.
