Provider notes
Water. Developer funding new industrial wastewater treatment facility; cooling water drawn from Kansas River; significant infrastructure upgrades borne by developer
Community. De Soto City Council approved with little public opposition in August 2025; some residents and outside observers raised concern about water draw from the Kansas River and impacts on regional water supply
What the source record says
Developer (Mount Sunflower Properties LLC / Beale Infrastructure, backed by Blue Owl) has pre-leased the entire campus to an unnamed large technology company. Attorney described the tenant as among 'the strongest, most financially profitable companies in the world.' Four buildings of 285,000 sq ft each (1.14M sq ft total); full build-out in 7–9 years. Kansas's first announced hyperscale data center. Permanent job figure of 100 is sourced from Johnson County Post ('over 100 long-term jobs paying six figures'); DCD separately cited 50 operational jobs for the first phase only. Coordinates are De Soto city centroid; exact site is at NW corner of 103rd St and Edgerton Rd.
Any MW value is reproduced as source-reported context. Its measurement boundary is not established consistently enough for comparison. Unknown is not zero.
