AI Data Centers in 99 Days? Navneet Aron on Speed-to-Power & AI Infrastructure

Guest:

Navneet Aron, Livio Building Systems

Host:

Logan Freeman, Managing Broker, Midwest CRE Advisors

In this episode of The Kansas City Market Pulse, host Logan Freeman sits down with Navneet "Nav" Aron, Founder and CEO of Livio Building Systems, who is working to solve one of AI's biggest bottlenecks: turning land, power and construction into operational data center capacity faster and more predictably.

Nav brings a Stanford master's degree in electrical engineering and a Silicon Valley startup background to the speed-to-power problem.

Episode Highlights:

Not Just Chips: The AI race also depends on the physical infrastructure to support it.
Not Everything Gets Built: Logan notes estimates that about half of announced data center projects will not get built.
Inference Is Coming: Estimates suggest 40 to 80% of data center demand by 2030 will be inference.
Design From Inputs: Livio's platform generates layouts, power and cooling diagrams from location and a few design answers.
Modular Systems: Modular building systems aim to shorten the path to operational capacity.

For developers, investors and communities, the infrastructure race behind AI is a real estate conversation.
