Data Centers
THE MARKET IS MOVING FAST
AI and cloud demand are pushing projects from single-digit megawatts to hundreds, and sometimes gigawatts, on timelines the grid wasn't built for. That puts pressure on how projects get powered, financed, taxed, and built.
Data centers are no longer just a real estate play. They sit at the intersection of infrastructure, energy, and project finance, and power certainty drives every decision. Whether you're developing hyperscale campuses in established hubs or breaking ground in frontier markets, we help you move faster without taking on hidden risk.
Wherever you are in the data center journey
From the first site to the final exit, one connected team helps you plan for power, structure for capital, build, operate, and realize value. Select a stage to see how we help.
Site decisions extend beyond land and power. We help you evaluate environmental and community impacts, engage key stakeholders, and develop strategies that reduce development risk and create measurable local benefits.
Power certainty drives every decision. We help you structure power deals and capture the incentives and tax outcomes that shape where and how you build.
We build the financial models, valuations, and tax structures that put your project in a stronger position to attract and close financing.
Keep builds on time and on budget. We help you monitor progress, maximize tax benefits, and manage environmental impact as you build.
Scale finance and reporting with growth. We handle accounting and finance reporting to free up your team and allow flexibility in size and scale.
Plan the exit from day one. We provide transaction advisory and due diligence support, and help build the enterprise value buyers and investors look for.
