Data Center Financing
and Commercial Solutions

Our most recent work has been with a Scottish 100MW DC developer, modelling the optimal build, exploring off grid power solutions and sourcing debt, equity and operators.

We support landowners who feel their site may be suitable for a datacentre development, Commercial Real Estate Developers who wish to enter or expand in the sector, and source sites for hyperscale, cloud and edge operators.

ii.
Supporting CRE Developers
Supporting Commercial Real Estate Developers who wish to enter or expand in this massively growing sector — land sourcing, site suitability, development appraisal, pre-sale, pre-lease, anchor tenant sourcing, debt and equity funding.
iii.
Sourcing Sites for Operators
Sourcing sites for hyperscale, cloud and edge operators. Sourcing power solutions in difficult situations where grid capacity is poor or delayed.
