A 2MW telecom data center and office campus in Cincinnati, Ohio, has been put on the market, offering a rare opportunity for investors or operators looking to acquire a fully equipped facility in the Midwest. The property, known as the i74 Wired business campus, is located at 2300 Montana Avenue and spans 65,000 square feet (6,040 square meters). It is listed at a price per square foot of $85, bringing the total asking price to $5.5 million.
The campus includes backup generators and fiber connectivity, making it suitable for telecom and data center operations. It also houses a co-working space, adding to its versatility. The building originally served as the headquarters of Cincom, a software firm founded in 1968 and later sold to PartnerOne in 2024. The site was relaunched as i74 Wired around 2016 and is situated near Interstate 74, providing convenient access to regional transportation networks.
Cincinnati, located near Ohio’s western border with Indiana, is not the state’s primary data center hub—most facilities are concentrated around Columbus, the state capital. However, Cincinnati has emerged as a notable location for telecom infrastructure, and this listing underscores ongoing interest in secondary markets for data center capacity. The sale includes critical power and connectivity assets, which are increasingly valuable as demand for edge computing and regional data processing grows.
Industry observers note that the availability of a 2MW facility with existing fiber and backup power at this price point could attract buyers seeking to expand their footprint in the Midwest without the higher costs associated with major metropolitan markets. The property’s history as a corporate headquarters and its transition to a multi-tenant business campus also highlight a broader trend of repurposing commercial real estate for digital infrastructure needs.
