## Questions this page answers

### Is Prime ORD Chicago Campus under construction?

No permit record shows it yet, so this page prints it as announced. Compute Atlas (Sep 10, 2026) reports it as under construction. The sources disagree: Server Country reports operating and EPA ECHO reports operating.

### Who is building Prime ORD Chicago Campus?

Prime Data Centers is the operator; the tenants reported are CoreWeave. No public record names the general contractor yet. It shows here the day one does.

### When is Prime ORD Chicago Campus expected to finish?

Server Country reports expected completion in Jun 2027. That is a reported target, not a schedule.

### Which carriers serve Prime ORD Chicago Campus?

No public record names them yet. They show here when a filing does.

### How do contractors on Prime ORD Chicago Campus get paid sooner?

The owner pays the general contractor, and the general contractor pays its subcontractors. Once your customer approves your invoice, certify it with Kapwork. Funders compete to fund it, so you don't wait for the payment date. Free for businesses. Kapwork doesn't lend and doesn't contact your customer.
