An entrepreneur is transforming a Cold War-era nuclear silo into an underground data center. Look inside.

"Nik Halik, an Australian venture capitalist, purchased the decommissioned Cold War-era nuclear missile silo from the US government in 2021 for more than $10 million. For the past five years, Halik has been overseeing its transformation into a modern, renovated facility, where he plans to house an AI data center."

""I'm immersed in the world of castles and underground bunkers," Halik told Business Insider. "I'm a value-facturer. I like things that I can add value to.""

"At the beginning of the Cold War, the US began developing intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs) at a rapid pace. Following the US' first operational ICBM, the SM-65 Atlas, the Titan I went under development in the mid-1950s."

Nik Halik purchased a decommissioned nuclear missile silo in Colorado for over $10 million. The facility, once capable of launching nuclear missiles, is being renovated into a modern data center for AI. Halik, a venture capitalist, has a history of adventurous projects and aims to add value to unique structures. The Titan I missile silos were developed during the Cold War, and Halik's project reflects his interest in repurposing such facilities for contemporary uses.
