Source: DC Hub (dchub.cloud), facility records as of 2026-11-12. Verified sites that report MW only; blank means no MW reported. The "MW, all listings" tile above is a wider measure (every tracked site that reports MW, any status, unverified directory listings included), so it is larger than Total listed.

Colocation lease rates in Kansas City

Broker lease rates (CBRE/JLL): available on paid plans. Asking base rent per kW of critical IT capacity. Electricity is normally billed separately (metered pass-through), plus cross-connects and one-time fees. Signed deals, term and size change the number. Source: DC Hub estimate. Nearest covered markets Denver and Minneapolis (CBRE North America Data Center Trends H1 2026 (250+ kW): (figure on paid plans) / (figure on paid plans)); MO industrial power ~8.6 c/kWh (EIA via DC Hub).

The market hosts a diversified operator base beyond the top three, indicating established infrastructure maturity and multi-tenant appeal. Facility count and megawatt volume place Kansas City among active regional markets, though the deployment landscape includes sites under construction, planned, and unverified listings alongside operational assets.

This combination suggests that new power can be sourced and delivered to the market, though project developers will encounter real infrastructure coordination costs. The verdict does not address demand, economics, or competitive positioning; it reflects supply-side feasibility for incremental capacity.

Deal flow activity is visible but sparse in recent tracking windows. Digital Realty has also signaled expansion intent through land acquisition tied to AI-driven data center development in the region. Community and municipal pushback on proposed projects in Independence and downtown Kansas City suggests that permitting and local approval remain friction points separate from power availability. This opposition has delayed voting on downtown proposals but does not alter underlying power economics.

Regulatory and community sentiment will shape implementation velocity more than power supply over the next 18–24 months.
