CH1 occupies the former Western Union Telegraph Building at 427 South LaSalle, in the heart of Chicago's financial district beside the old Board of Trade, converted to data center use from 2007. Its 178,000-plus square feet make it the interconnection anchor of CoreSite's Chicago pair: 73 networks and six exchanges are reachable on-net, among them ChIX, DE-CIX Chicago, QCIX and CoreSite's own Any2Chicago. Electrical options run N, N+1 and 2N across UPS and PDU, with N+1 cooling redundancy, variable-speed CRAHs, chilled water and evaporative condensing units. Proximity matters here - trading and financial customers take space for latency to the exchanges rather than for hall capacity, which is what separates CH1 from the purpose-built CH2 two miles south.
