Lincoln Property Company JV to Develop Data Centers in Kansas City

Metrobloks, a developer of AI-ready, low-latency data center infrastructure, announced a strategic joint venture with Lincoln Property Company. The partnership will focus on the co-development of a high-performance data center campus in the Kansas City Metro Area. 

Located in Liberty, Missouri, the newly acquired site comprises approximately 30 acres of land, already zoned and powered for data center use, and is within ten miles of the GPC Missouri Internet Exchange Point. The initial Kansas City Metro project is planned as a multi-phase, approximately 568,000-square-foot campus designed to support hyperscale, AI and enterprise data center workloads.

“This joint venture combines Metrobloks’ specialized approach to delivering development-ready, high-density data center sites with Lincoln’s experience executing complex projects across strategic markets,” said Ryan Sullivan, EVP Data Center Services at Lincoln Property Company. “Together, we’re well-positioned to deliver scalable, high-performance facilities in the near term, within high-growth data center markets, beginning with the Kansas City metro.”
