Where it stands

Nebius's Kansas City, MO co-location site, contracted in November 2024, came online in April 2025 and was described as fully operational. Capacity was added in early July 2025, and a first NVIDIA B200 cluster launched there by Q3 2025. The site is still listed among current co-location sites in April 2026 and as an existing site in August 2026. No MW figures are given for this site. The separate owned 'Missouri' site secured in February 2026 is a different facility and is not counted here.

Site intelligence

Analytical estimate. Each site below is located from public records (filings, releases, news, OpenStreetMap) and checked against free satellite imagery; "How we located this site" lists every step and the score it earned. The conclusion is computed from night-time lights, surface heat and year-over-year change, with the dates it rests on. These are hypotheses under active tracking, not legal parcels or an official endorsement.

Conclusion so far Under construction: the site is changing year over year. · confidence 60%
In progress: night-time lights at the site ran 1.24x the surrounding area (0 of 13 clear nights, 2026-06-28 to 2026-10-04); surface temperature +0.9 K against its surroundings (15 pass(es), 2026-07-26 to 2026-10-17); vegetation -0.27 NDVI against the same season a year earlier; built-up index +0.16 against the same season a year earlier. Based on 61 clear observation(s) from 2026-06-21 to 2026-10-19.
What would change this: Change stopping for a season, or lights/heat showing the site has started operating.

Satellite imagery on this page is drawn from the Google Earth satellite basemap, USDA NAIP aerial photography (~1 m/pixel), ESA Sentinel-2 multispectral (10 m, with per-date cloud masks), NASA / USGS Landsat 8/9 (30 m, plus surface temperature), ESA Sentinel-1 radar (all-weather, night), NASA ECOSTRESS thermal (~70 m), and NASA Black Marble night lights (500 m, daily). Each image is dated, labelled by source and pixel resolution, and downloadable at its native size; cloudy dates are kept and marked rather than hidden. New scenes are pulled daily as each provider publishes them.
