Our Approach

Advisory for digital infrastructure real estate

Data center real estate is driven by power, connectivity, and cooling - and by customers' growth plans. Sites, powered shells, and operating facilities each carry different risk and capital profiles.

We help owners, developers, and investors evaluate sites, structure joint ventures, and place capital for powered land, powered shell, and operating data center assets.

Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a powered shell?

A building delivered with core structure and utility service in place but without customer-specific mechanical, electrical, and IT fit-out - allowing the occupier to complete the build.

How do you evaluate a site?

We start with power availability and timeline, then fiber, water, entitlement, and community considerations - and test them against the likely customer base.

Do you place capital for development?

Yes - including joint venture equity and construction financing introductions.
