Data center and hosting firm Patmos could be building a new data center development in Independence, Missouri.Reporting from the Kansas City Star has suggested that Patmos is under contract to buy a warehouse building at 2500 Little Blue Parkway for development into a data center.Patmos entered into talks with the owner of the warehouse, Kansas City developer NorthPoint, in November last year, according to Monica Brisimitzakis, VP of strategic growth at Patmos, who was speaking at a local town hall organized by the company last week.Building permit applications for the proposal price the construction at around $107 million.NorthPoint previously sold 398 acres in Independence to neocloud Nebius for the construction of a large data center development. The deal was closed in early December 2025 and Nebius broke ground on the project in May this year.As part of the Nebius project, which will require at least 800MW, Independence Power Partners is reopening the Blue Valley Power Plant Site, with plans to scale up generation to 1.1GW of capacity by December 2029.Independence has been considering a 180-day moratorium on zoning approval for data center projects following news of the Nebius development.However, Brisimitzakis said Patmos’s project is already in process and wouldn’t be affected by any moratorium.Patmos says it provides cloud, high-density compute, software, and data center solutions “free from the threat of Big Tech censorship.” It describes itself as offering “uncancellable hosting solutions” that “provide refuge for the digital exile.”The name Patmos comes from the Greek island of Patmos in the Aegean Sea, where the author of the Christian Book of Revelation, John of Patmos, received a vision from Jesus that inspired the last book of the Bible.The company currently has four data centers in operation across Kansas City, Missouri; Dallas, Texas; and Phoenix, Arizona.Its Kansas City site, located at the former Kansas City Star printing press, hosts Nebius.
