What the source record says
Two-building purpose-built colocation campus on Northridge Circle, Altoona (Des Moines metro): 1435 Northridge Circle and 1401 Northridge Circle, both confirmed on LightEdge's own site. Owns/operates the buildings — not a tenancy. Could NOT confirm an MW or exact sq-ft figure on any page I fetched directly (the LightEdge page references 'critical IT capacity'/'total square feet' fields without rendering values, and a linked PDF spec sheet exceeded fetchable size). Third-party listings (not independently confirmed) cite ~73,000 SF total and N+1 cooling redundancy — omitted capacityMw rather than guess. Worth a follow-up with a direct call/site-visit-grade source, or a successful fetch of the spec-sheet PDF, to pin capacity.
Any MW value is reproduced as source-reported context. Its measurement boundary is not established consistently enough for comparison. Unknown is not zero.
