Guest:

Mitch Case, Midwest CRE Advisors

Host:

Logan Freeman, Managing Broker, Midwest CRE Advisors

In Episode 1 of the Data Center Deep Dive series on The Kansas City Market Pulse, host Logan Freeman and Mitch Case of Midwest CRE Advisors break down the real estate and infrastructure behind the data center boom.

The point: the race to deploy compute is not just about chips. Speed to token starts with speed to site.

Episode Highlights:

The Real Bottleneck: Not GPUs, but the physical and regulatory systems needed to power and cool facilities.
Interconnection Queues: Utilities have long queues, which shapes every site evaluation.
Complexity Is the Moat: Each major component has hundreds of subcomponents, which creates high barriers to entry.
Who This Is For: Powered shell owners, data center operators, utilities and infrastructure partners.

The first of a multi-part series on what it takes to move from land to live compute.
