Detroit: High-Density Performance in the Midwest Gateway

Metrobloks is developing a purpose-built, VR200-ready data center in the Detroit Metropolitan Area, engineered with 100% liquid-to-the-chip cooling and rack positions up to 250kW for NVIDIA VR200 deployments. Built to Uptime Institute Tier III standards, the facility carries the thermal and electrical headroom to land Vera Rubin racks natively, with fanless compute and NVSwitch trays, 100A power whips, and 800 VDC readiness.

Detroit has emerged as a strategically significant secondary data center market, driven by enterprise demand, power availability, and excellent connectivity to Midwest and Canadian markets. DTW-D leverages that infrastructure with direct access to DET-iX and multiple fiber providers, making it a gateway for high-density workloads outside traditional Tier I markets.

Superior Connectivity and Resilient Design 

  • Less than 4 miles from the Detroit Internet Exchange (DET-iX), with 67+ peers and 1.87 Tbps peak throughput.
  • Direct access to major carriers and fiber routes to Midwest metros and Canadian markets.
  • 120kV substation from ITC/DTE with 125MW expandable capacity and a dedicated onsite substation.
  • Adjacent to the recently expanded DTE Energy Southfield Substation, fed through two independent lines, with power confirmed by DTE.
  • Strategic proximity to automotive, financial, and enterprise demand.
