Prologis Pitches 600-Acre Indiana Data Center Campus
Logistics giant Prologis is continuing its push into data centers with a 13-building campus near Indianapolis.
The California-based REIT plans to develop a 13-building data center campus on 576 acres in Shelbyville, Indiana, about 30 miles southeast of Indianapolis and 200 miles from Chicago.
Prologis and a cohort of landowners are petitioning Shelbyville officials to annex and rezone a 13-parcel assemblage that accounts for 429 acres of the campus site, a measure required for the project to move forward, The Shelbyville News first reported. City officials are scheduled to hold a hearing on the proposed development this week.
No end user or power usage figure has been disclosed for the campus, which is planned to draw power from a pair of Duke Energy transmission lines that already run through the property. The power lines, along with roads and other critical infrastructure on the property, were built for a planned manufacturing plant on an adjacent site that never came to fruition.
The planned Shelbyville campus continues the rapid expansion of Prologis’ data center business.
Since launching its dedicated data center segment in 2024, the world’s largest industrial developer has made data centers an increasingly integral part of its business. Prologis added 1.5 gigawatts of power capacity to its data center business in the third quarter of 2025, and it has claimed to have 1.4 GW of secured power for data centers in its pipeline and another 1.6 GW "in the advanced stages of procurement."
As of October, Prologis has a land bank spanning 14,000 acres and 6,000 buildings in infill locations that the firm is exploring for potential data center development. Besides Indiana, the company has projects planned or underway in Illinois, Georgia, Virginia, California and Texas as well as international markets.
Prologis’ Indiana campus adds to a wave of development in the state that has made it one of the fastest-growing U.S. data center markets, with 30 proposed data centers across the state in 2025 alone. The four largest tech giants — Amazon, Microsoft, Google and Meta — have all announced large-scale data center plans in the state since the start of 2024.
While data center development in Indiana was initially clustered close to Chicago, hyperscalers and other developers are increasingly pursuing campuses near Indianapolis in the central part of the state. The city is located between Chicago and Columbus, Ohio, a critical emerging digital infrastructure hub for Big Tech.
