Peoples Company is pleased to present 387 acres m/l of prime
data center development land located along Interstate 88 and
U.S. Highway 30, just outside Rock Falls in unincorporated Lee
County, Illinois. The 387 acres m/l are contiguous and benefited
by having one ownership group controlling the decision-making.
Strategically located along Interstate 88—70 miles west of
the western Chicago suburbs and 45 miles east of Davenport,
Iowa—the site benefits from direct access to major
transportation corridors at the intersection of Interstate 88
(Exit 44) and Highway 30.
The property is adjacent to an existing Commonwealth Edison
(ComEd) substation, Illinois’ largest electric utility provider, and
lies directly south of the Nelson Energy Center, a 600-megawatt
natural gas-fired power plant owned and operated by Invenergy.
Surrounding 138 kV and 345 kV overhead transmission lines
provide immediate access to robust electrical infrastructure,
ideal for high-power users and data center operators.
Additional site advantages include proximity to a city-owned
sanitary lift station and force main, maintained by the City of
Rock Falls, as well as an active Union Pacific rail line and a natural
gas transmission line along the property boundary. Together,
these features position the site as an ideal location for a data
center or industrial development with exceptional access to
utilities, power, and transportation.
