Montera Infrastructure: A $1.5 billion hyperscale data center platform

AI datacenter craze: now this is how you flip property! (Crains Chicago Business gift link in comment) These developers bought the CBOE building in downtown Chicago for $12 million in June 2024, with the idea of turning it into a datacenter. They were smart, visionary, and secured more power from Com Ed by applying for a long term deal three years ago, when they were still negotiating for the building, and just before the current AI datacenter craze. Since everyone wants data centers, it’s now a long process to secure power contracts, so they increased the value of the property. Now, they flipped the building to another company that wants to build a datacenter for $40 million! #AI #datacenter #chicago #cboe #realestate
