Wholesale data center advisory

Wholesale data center space, scouted for the tenant.

We represent companies that need data center capacity measured in megawatts. Wholesale suites, powered shells, build-to-suit projects and AI campuses. We run the search, the RFP and the negotiation. The provider you choose pays us, so you don't.

Requirements from 1 MW to multi-phase campuses, across North America
Energized capacity kept apart from capacity that waits on a utility date
The terms that move a ten-year cost, negotiated line by line

For landowners and developers

Have land with power? We bring the operators.

Much of our work is with landowners and developers. Across 25 years in the data center business, we have built close relationships with executives at many of the top operators. We also work with the top hyperscalers. They all need sites that can get power. We know what they ask for, and we put your site in front of the ones it fits.

Site review
Power status, timing, zoning, fiber, water and acreage. Incomplete information is fine.
You learn the gaps before a buyer does
Tenant's-eye assessment
We compare the site with the requirements we see. We tell you what an operator's engineers will ask.
You get a straight read on fit
Introductions
To operators, developers and tenants where there is a fit, after we agree what can be shared.
You know if interest is an inquiry or a commitment
Deal structure
Sale, option or ground lease. Tie the money to power milestones. Your attorney drafts the agreement.
You compare offers on the same terms

Tell us about your site Check your state What counts as powered land

The first conversation is free. Before any engagement we agree in writing who we work for and how we are paid. An introduction starts diligence. It is not a promise of a buyer.

Who we work for

Built for requirements measured in megawatts

Retail colocation is sold off a rate card. Wholesale capacity is negotiated, and the negotiation starts long before the building is finished. We work for the side that signs the lease.

Enterprise infrastructure teams

Leaving an owned facility, consolidating sites or taking a first dedicated suite. We turn an IT plan into a lease finance can defend.

AI companies and GPU clouds

Liquid-cooled halls at 100 kW-plus per rack, on real delivery dates. We separate halls that are built from halls that are drawn.

Cloud, SaaS and platform providers

Multi-megawatt blocks with expansion rights in the regions your customers need, priced against the rest of the market.

Landowners and developers

Powered land and new capacity need operators and tenants. We connect your site with the ones it fits.

What we source

Every way to take down wholesale capacity

The right delivery model depends on how much control you want, how much capital you will spend, and how soon you need power. Most searches should price more than one.

Ranges describe how the market commonly uses each term. They overlap, and a specific offer can sit outside them.
Model	Typical scale	What the landlord delivers	Who runs the facility	Best fit
Turnkey wholesale	1 to 20 MW	A finished data hall or suite with power, cooling and redundancy installed	The operator	Most enterprise, cloud and inference requirements
Hyperscale campus	20 MW to several hundred	Dedicated buildings or phases on a campus, often leased before construction	The operator, sometimes with the tenant	Cloud platforms and AI training at scale
Powered shell	5 to 50 MW and up	The building and utility power. You fund and install the fit-out	You	Tenants with their own design and operations teams
Build-to-suit	10 MW and up	A facility designed to your specification, delivered under a long lease	Agreed in the lease	Large, specialized and durable requirements
Powered land	Site scale	Land with a documented path to power	Whoever develops it	Developers and companies that self-build

The market you are buying in

Capacity is committed before it is finished

Demand from cloud and AI tenants has outrun what utilities can connect. The capacity worth having is usually spoken for before the building is done, so timing decides who gets a choice.

How it works

How a scouted search runs

One process, whether the requirement is 2 MW or 200. Each step ends with something you can hold, not a status update.

Requirement brief
IT load by phase, density, cooling, redundancy, markets, dates and term, in a form operators can price.
You get a brief you approve
Confidential scan
We ask operators and developers in parallel without naming you, and confirm what is energized versus what waits on a utility.
You get a verified shortlist
RFP
A structured request so every proposal answers the same questions: rent, power, escalators, ramp and one-time costs.
You get a full-term cost model
Negotiation
Tours, best-and-final rounds and the lease terms that decide what you pay over a decade.
You get a lease worth signing
Delivery
We track milestones against the dates and remedies in the lease, and line up the next phase before you need it.
You get power on the date agreed

What we negotiate

The rate is one line. These decide the cost.

A wholesale lease runs to dozens of pages. The starting rent gets the attention, but these terms compound for the whole term.

Escalator: At 3% a year, year-ten rent is about 30% above year one. A point off the escalator can be worth more than a discount on the starting rate.
Ramp and billing floor: When billing starts, how fast committed load steps up, and what you pay for power you reserved but do not draw yet.
Power pass-through: How the utility bill reaches you, which multiplier applies, and whether an inefficient building becomes your cost.
Delivery date and remedies: A contractual date with rent credits or termination rights if it slips. A construction schedule is not a commitment.
Expansion rights: First offer or refusal on adjacent capacity, and the price it is struck at, so growth does not reopen the whole deal.
Renewal pricing: A fixed or capped renewal instead of fair market value, in a market where renewal rents have been rising.
Service levels: Power and cooling availability commitments with credits that matter, and notice before planned maintenance.
Assignment and exit: The right to sublease or assign if plans change, and a known cost of leaving early.

Why a scout

Operators answer requirements they will not answer a search engine

Most wholesale capacity never appears on a listing. It is committed through relationships, often before the building is finished. A defined requirement from an advisor the operators already work with gets a real answer: which hall, which power block, which date and at what rent.

Data Center Scouts is operated by Foretel Solutions, a Bridgepointe Technologies company. That puts a national advisory practice and its provider relationships behind every search, and one accountable advisor in front of you.

How our tenant representation works

Three kinds of capacity

Energized: Power is on in a named hall today. You can contract it and move in on a fit-out schedule.
Under construction: A building is going up and the utility has committed a date. The lease should hold the operator to it.
Announced: A plan and a press release. Useful for the next phase of growth, not for this year's deployment.

Proposals often quote similar rents for all three. They are different products.
