A new data center campus has been proposed in Kansas City, Kansas.
As reported by BizJournal, Red Wolf DCD Properties LLC has filed plans with the Unified Government of Wyandotte County/Kansas to build a 400-acre data center campus.
The project aims to develop a six-building campus, totaling some 600MW across 1.8 million sq ft, as well as two on-site substations.
The campus would be bisected by Parralel Parkway – three data center buildings to the north and three buildings to the south – west of the Kansas Speedway. BizJournal lists the address as 13000 Parallel Parkway.
UG Economic Development Director Chelsee Chism told BizJournal the plans have not been finalized or submitted to the planning department, but each building is set to be valued at approximately $2 billion, with a total project investment of $12 billion.
Greg Kindle, president of the Wyandotte Economic Development Council, described the proposed project as the largest single investment the county has seen.
“Once all six are built, that will be generating a little over $13 million a year in a spot that is generating less than $50,000 a year in property taxes,” Kindle said.
Little information is available about Red Wolf. That affiliate was previously involved in a filing for a 1.25 million sq ft (116,129 sqm) data center project proposal south of Atlanta in Hampton and a 2.1 million square feet (195,096 sqm) project outside Cordele in Crisp County, Georgia.
No end users for any of the projects have been named.
