Patmos data center, former Kansas City Star press pavilion
Patmos is converting the former Kansas City Star printing plant downtown into an AI data center that it says will exceed 100 MW, with Nebius as its first tenant. Also known as: Patmos: Kansas City, Nebius Kansas City.
Who is behind it
The record, newest first
KSHB described Patmos as running the downtown press pavilion data center, shared with Nebius. (KSHB 41, Oct. 19, 2026)
Nebius said it would open its first U.S. availability zone at the Patmos site, starting at 5 MW and growing to as much as 40 MW, live in Q1 2025. (Nebius, Nov. 19, 2024; DatacenterDynamics, Nov. 19, 2024)
Patmos announced it had leased the 400,000 sq ft former Star press building, with an option to buy, and planned 5 MW at once and 40 MW within 18 months. (Patmos, Nov. 14, 2024; DatacenterDynamics, Nov. 15, 2024)
Conflicts and open questions
- KSHB (Oct. 19, 2026) says Patmos began operating the downtown site in May 2024, earlier than the November 2024 announcement suggests; unresolved.
- Whether the 40 MW phase is online is not confirmed from opened sources.
- The 100 MW is a stated plan, not built capacity.
