Frequently Asked Questions - Data Centers

Please reach us at if you cannot find an answer to your question.

Florida offers several strategic advantages for data centers:

  • Growing Population & Economy: Drives demand for digital services and localized data processing.
  • Connectivity: Robust fiber optic networks across the state, with key interconnections.
  • Low Corporate Tax Burden: Favorable business environment.
  • Proximity to Latin America: Serving as a gateway for international connectivity.
  • Renewable Energy Potential: Opportunities for sustainable power solutions in certain areas. However, coastal locations require careful consideration of hurricane resilience.


Data center site selection is highly specialized:

  • Power Availability & Reliability: Access to high-capacity, stable power grids and redundant power sources. Utility costs are a major operational expense.
  • Fiber Connectivity: Diverse fiber optic routes and low latency connections.
  • Environmental Factors: Proximity to flood zones, seismic activity (low in FL), and potential for natural disasters (hurricane hardening is crucial for coastal sites).
  • Zoning & Permitting: Ensuring industrial or specialized zoning permits data center operations and navigating expedited permitting.
  • Water Access: For cooling systems, if applicable (e.g., chiller plants).
  • Security: Proximity to flight paths, major roads, and potential security risks.
  • Labor Pool: Access to skilled technical and operational staff.


We work closely with clients and utility providers to:

  • Assess Power Capacity: Confirming available grid capacity and potential for upgrades.
  • Redundancy Planning: Identifying sites that can support N+1 or 2N redundancy for power and cooling.
  • Energy Efficiency: Exploring options for efficient cooling technologies (e.g., evaporative cooling, liquid cooling) and renewable energy integration.
  • Utility Negotiations: Assisting in negotiating favorable power rates and service agreements.


Hurricane resilience is paramount:

  • Elevation & Flood Zones: Prioritizing sites outside of high-risk flood zones or requiring elevated construction.
  • Building Standards: Ensuring properties meet or exceed Florida's strict building codes for wind resistance.
  • Redundant Systems: Implementing robust backup power (generators, UPS) and cooling systems capable of sustaining operations through outages.
  • Security & Access: Planning for access and security during and after severe weather events. Our expertise includes identifying and evaluating sites with these critical resilience features.


Yes, we handle both.

  • Existing Facilities: We identify operational data centers for sale, conducting detailed due diligence on their power, fiber, cooling, and security infrastructure, as well as tenant profiles and lease structures.
  • Ground-Up Development: We locate and secure raw land suitable for data center construction, focusing on power, fiber, zoning, and environmental factors, then assist with the complex entitlement and permitting processes.
