Why Ohio, why now
AI demand is outrunning powered sites.
Absorption doubled in a year, vacancy is near zero, and the market is moving to Ohio.

How we develop sites
Capital goes in only when a gate is passed.
Six stages. Each dollar either reduces a named risk or shortens the path to a buyer.
- 1
Origination
Screen markets and sites for power, gas and water first.
Spend little; keep options.
- 2
Diligence
Power, gas, water, fiber, permitting, community, buyers.
Proceed only if the case holds.
- 3
Site control
Options, easements, title and survey.
Control land without buying it.
- 4
Development
Utility studies, engineering, environmental, zoning.
Fund milestones that add value.
- 5
Commercial
Operator, IPP, midstream and utility agreements.
Bring in partner capital.
- 6
Monetization
Sell the site or development rights; keep fees.
Recycle capital.
Each dollar either removes a named risk or shortens the path to a buyer. Capital at risk rises only as gates are passed.
Community first
Community consent is a development prerequisite.
Local opposition now stops projects regardless of power or site quality. We work it first, not last.
How we work
- Engage local leaders before committing material site capital.
- Scope the community package early: public infrastructure, schools, fire and EMS, workforce.
- Negotiate a development agreement framework the operator can step into.
Why buyers value it
- Operators will not commit capital until they see a path through zoning and public approval.
- A pre-scoped community agreement removes the risk that stalls most sites late.
- Workforce
- Tax base
- Grid resilience
- Water discipline
