Summary

Lambda announced in October 2025 that it would redevelop a vacant facility built in 2009 in the Northland area of Kansas City, Missouri, into an AI factory, as developer, operator and sole tenant. The site was to launch in early 2026 with 24 MW and more than 10,000 NVIDIA Blackwell Ultra GPUs serving one unnamed customer under a multi-year contract for AI training and inference, with potential to grow beyond 100 MW. No investment figure or street address was disclosed, and no later update on the site's opening was found.

Evidence

Sources are linked, not redistributed; each keeps its own terms. An archived copy is a lookup for the Wayback Machine capture nearest the retrieval date and may be unavailable or differ from what was reviewed. Each hash states what it covers; imported factual records are not publisher-page captures.
