^Haven't found anything since signing a deed last fall. COVID might be slowing things down.
As of Feb 2021...
Apparently Google takes their time with years of planning for new sites. Or maybe they sell the land and move to the other DC complex announced if a better situation.As Shalerock LLC, the web search giant and primary unit of Alphabet Inc. (Nasdaq: GOOGL) in August 2019 bought about 80 acres in Hunt Midwest Business Center, northeast of Parvin Road and Arlington Avenue, for a $600 million data center facility.
Google also has the option to buy as much as 236 additional acres north of that first site, according to a real estate option agreement filed Aug. 27, 2019, with the Clay County Recorder of Deeds office.
That agreement gives Google three successive six-month extensions of its option for that land. Saturday will mark a rollover into the final extension, ending Aug. 27. (2021)
For the other data center complex going in (Golden Plains Tech Park), the first phase is called Project Velvet and Velvet is the internal code name for Google's search engine. So Google may be interested in both sites or perhaps just coincidence and first GPTP tenant is someone else.This week, Google has nearly quadrupled its land holdings in the area. On Wednesday, the company acquired another 236.4 acres just north from Hunt Midwest, Clay County property records show. A real estate option agreement for that acreage had been in effect between the parties since August 2019. A sale price was not available.
"Google has acquired property in Kansas City, Mo., for a potential data center," a company spokesperson said in a statement. "While we do not have a confirmed timeline for development for the site, we want to ensure that we have the option to further grow, should our business demand it."
It's pay as you go. Cerner basically gets reimbursed for all the economic activity it creates. Everything from sales tax to employee kcmo etax to state income tax generated by the employees of Cerner over a period of time based on how much they spend on building the office park.AlkaliAxel wrote: ↑Mon Dec 20, 2021 4:43 pm Anyone know where that $28 bil Cerner is getting is gonna go? Back into the city at all?
Oracle is buying Cerner stock at $95 per share totaling $28B. For each share of Cerner Oracle is buying, the stockholder gets $95 and the stock goes away. There's no "going back into the city," except the employees who are getting payoffs/conversions of their stock.AlkaliAxel wrote: ↑Mon Dec 20, 2021 4:43 pm Anyone know where that $28 bil Cerner is getting is gonna go?

Yup. 90% of the shares are institutional as well. Insiders only own .2% of the companyalejandro46 wrote: ↑Mon Dec 20, 2021 5:52 pmOracle is buying Cerner stock at $95 per share totaling $28B.

My prediction: Google to Hunt Midwest. Facebook to Project Velvet. 1 or both launches a downtown office.earthling wrote: ↑Fri Dec 17, 2021 1:26 pm Google acquired 4 times more land from Hunt Midwest...For the other data center complex going in (Golden Plains Tech Park), the first phase is called Project Velvet and Velvet is the internal code name for Google's search engine.

That website has errors even on basic info for other DC's in our area. I doubt the AK Steel site suddenly is shifting from logistics to DC. Port KC is still advancing MRT as of this month. Probably got Port KC incentives and this site mixd upearthling wrote: ↑Sun May 01, 2022 1:25 pm Apparently there's been action with one of the Google DC sites last couple months (former AK Steel site). Black&Veatch engaged, apparently for sewer/water supply/utilities infrastructure. No official Google announcement yet. Maybe within the next 4-6 months?
