Nothing on record as of September 18, 2026. No lawsuit, organized opposition, or contested hearing over Centersquare Shakopee (MSP1 Campus) in Shakopee, Scott County, Minnesota appears in the sources this registry tracks.

A new status, a permit, a reception finding, or a lawsuit. Nothing else, ever.

Notes on the record

4450 Dean Lakes Boulevard, Shakopee, MN 55379. Built by Compass Datacenters (Phase 1, 1.2MW, opened 2014, originally for Savvis/CenturyLink, ~$26M). Passed to Cyxtera (2017, via $2.8B CenturyLink data-center-portfolio deal), then to Evoque, then rebranded Centersquare in April 2024 after Evoque closed its acquisition of Cyxtera's portfolio. Own site (csquare.com) states 'Utility power: 19.1MW' with separate, smaller UPS (2.4MW) and generator (3.6MW) figures listed, those smaller numbers likely describe currently-installed backup for built-out suites, not total site capacity; used the 19.1MW utility-power figure as capacityMw.operational but flagging the discrepancy for a human sanity-check. 29,800 sq ft raised floor (~28,900 to 30,000 sq ft consistently reported). Compass's original master plan included 3 more 25,000 sq ft buildings (~$90M), unclear if built out; not counted here.
