About Kao Data KMAN-01 Manchester Data Center
KMAN-01 is Kao Data’s approved Stockport project on the former Kenwood Point industrial site. The council envelope refers to 40 MW, while Kao’s current facility page states 33 MW IT, more than 4,000 racks and £350 million of private investment; the current IT figure controls the headline. Phase-by-phase energization, tenant utilization, contract pricing and any undisclosed financing remain outside the verified public record.
