The record, newest first

  1. Meta announced the $1 billion, 1.4 million sq ft data center was online, its 28th worldwide. (Ingram's, Aug. 20, 2025)

  2. A university site tour reported two connected data centers finished, a third (about 500,000 sq ft) under construction by Turner, and a long-term plan for about 14 buildings. (University of Illinois, Global Leaders in Construction Management, March 17, 2025)

  3. Meta was reported to have bought the remaining roughly 508 acres of the park (278.5 acres in Platte County, 229.8 acres in Clay County) and said it had no plans yet to build there. (DCD, Jan. 12, 2023)

  4. Meta confirmed an $800 million-plus, roughly 1 million sq ft data center on more than 375 acres, aiming to open in 2024. (DCD, March 24, 2022)

  5. Reporting identified Meta as the tenant of Project Velvet, a 1.88 million sq ft master plan in Zone 3 of the Golden Plains Technology Park, with a first phase of a 601,995 sq ft data center and a receiving building. (The Platte County Landmark, March 16, 2022)

Conflicts and open questions

  • The park straddles Clay and Platte counties; county set to Clay, but the buildings' exact county is not confirmed in opened sources.
  • No public record was found of a filed 'expansion' project or of specific Buildings 4 and 5; the 14-building long-term plan comes from a site-tour write-up, not from Meta.
  • Opening date and investment come from Ingram's reporting of Meta's announcement; Meta's own page was not opened.
  • Coordinates are approximate, at the reported intersection.
