KANSAS CITY, MO. — Patmos Holdings Inc., a provider of internet infrastructure, data center and hosting services, has received a $100 million C-PACE (Commercial Property Assessed Clean Energy) loan from PACE Loan Group for the ongoing redevelopment of the former Kansas City Star building into a data center and artificial intelligence (AI) campus. When the next phase of infrastructure upgrades is complete this spring, the 421,112-square-foot, four-story Patmos AI Campus will feature 35 megawatts of power. The C-PACE loan will fund energy-efficient infrastructure improvements. Patmos initially started construction in late 2024. Since then, two publicly traded tenants have inked multi-year leases with Patmos. Located at 1601 McGee St. in downtown Kansas City on the site that had been previously declined by the Kansas City Royals for its new stadium, the 5-acre campus is part of a significant retrofit project. In addition to creating AI data halls, Patmos will also convert nearly 150,000 square feet of the building into a multi-tenant technology hub, coworking and event space. The C-PACE proceeds will be used for energy efficiency, equipment, HVAC and plumbing improvements to support the data center’s cooling and electrical load. The project is slated for completion in March. Rafi Golberstein of …
