Data center site and power development

Sites for data centers, starting with the power

LandUp finds and develops powered shells, retrofits and modular sites for compute, typically under 100 MW. We work out the power first, then build to fit.

What we do

Power usually decides where a data center can go

Good buildings and good land are not hard to find. Power is the part that takes time, so we start there. Every site is checked for power, fiber, environmental clearance and zoning before we put more into it.

  • Powered shells and retrofitsExisting buildings with power in place, or close to it, that can be converted for compute.
  • Modular and conventionalWe build whichever suits the site and the customer, in phases when that helps.
  • Grid or on-site powerWe use the route the site supports, and plan for more than one when we can.
  • Fiber and locationWe look at fiber and where the site sits before we take it on.
How we find power

Three routes to a powered site

We are not tied to one approach. Each site gets the route that fits it.

⚡

Existing power, upgraded

Sites that already have some power, often too little to use on their own. We secure the site and work with the utility to bring the service up to the size the compute needs.

🖥

Distressed sites with power

Closed plants and buildings where power, gas or a substation is already in place. We look for these early, before they reach the open market.

📍

Creative power paths

Where the standard route is slow, we draw on our relationships with utilities, generation owners and equipment makers to find another way to get power to the site.

How it works

From a customer's need to power-on

Understand the need

Size, location and timing. We start with what the compute requires.

Find the site

Existing power to upgrade, a distressed site with power in place, or a creative path, matched to the requirement.

Secure the infrastructure

Power, fiber and permitting lined up before construction starts.

Build and energize

Data center infrastructure, modular or conventional, built on site and brought online in phases.

Who we work with

Customers, landowners and power partners

🖥

Compute customers

You need capacity in a certain place at a certain size, typically under 100 MW. Tell us the location, size and timing and we will tell you what we have or can find.

📍

Landowners

If you own land or a building in the right spot, we can structure a ground lease with long-term income and no capital from you.

⚡

Power partners

Companies with gas, generation or grid interconnection experience who want to work with us on a site.
