The right site, before the first shovel.

Site selection shapes a data center's cost, schedule and risk more than any decision that follows. We help owners, investors and developers choose land that power, water, fiber and the community can all support.

Who it's for

Operators, investors, developers, and A/E and EPC firms

When to engage

Before you shortlist, and always before you sign a purchase agreement

What you leave with

A ranked shortlist, a diligence record and a path to entitlement

How an engagement runs

From site search to shovel‑ready

We protect your interests at every step, from the first market screen to the design handoff.

Phase 01

Define

Every good site search starts with a clear brief. We pin down capacity, phasing, latency, budget and risk tolerance with you, so every site that follows is judged against the same yardstick.

Phase 02

Screen

We score markets and parcels against the brief, from power availability and fiber to tax incentives, and cut the long list down to the few sites worth investigating in depth.

Phase 03

Diligence

We investigate the shortlist on the ground: utility capacity and timelines, zoning, environmental, geotechnical, title and community sentiment. You see each risk and its cost before you commit capital.

Phase 04

Secure

We support negotiations, utility agreements and entitlement filings, and stay on your side of the table until the site is under control and the path to permits is clear.

Phase 05

Hand off

We pass a de-risked site and its full record to your design team, so engineering starts from verified facts instead of assumptions.

How we work

The cheapest time to find a problem with a site is before you own it.

Evidence over optimism

Every claim about power, water and fiber is checked at the source.

One yardstick

Each site is scored against the same written criteria.

Your side of the table

Our advice is owner-side, from the first screen to closing.

What we cover

Six questions every site has to answer.

We work through each one on your side of the table and put the answers in writing before you commit.

  1. 01

    Site selection

    Market and parcel screening against power, latency, land, tax and incentive criteria, ranked so you compare every site on the same terms.

  2. 02

    Feasibility and due diligence

    Zoning, environmental, geotechnical, flood, title and survey review, with the cost and schedule risk that comes with each finding.

  3. 03

    Power and utilities

    Utility engagement, load studies, interconnection and substation strategy, and a realistic date for when power arrives.

  4. 04

    Water and natural gas

    Cooling water availability and rights, wastewater discharge, and fuel supply for on-site generation.

  5. 05

    Fiber and connectivity

    Carrier routes, path diversity and latency to the markets and cloud regions your tenants need to reach.

  6. 06

    Development constraints and community

    Entitlements, permitting, setbacks, noise and height limits, and a community engagement plan that earns local support.
