Assess Underutilized Assets and Evaluate Office-to-Data Center Transformation

A property developer with excess underutilized office space sought to explore alternative uses to maximize asset value. With increasing demand for digital infrastructure, LEDG was engaged to assess the feasibility of converting select office properties into high-density data centers, unlocking new revenue streams in the growing colocation and cloud services market.

Most office buildings are not designed to support data center power and cooling demands, requiring evaluation of power availability, connectivity, structural capacity, and fiber access. LEDG conducts comprehensive site and asset due diligence to assess power infrastructure, HVAC retrofitting needs, and cooling strategies for high-density IT loads—delivering a strategic framework to transform underutilized assets into revenue-generating digital infrastructure.

Assessing Power Availability & Scalability for New Data Center Locations

As demand for digital infrastructure accelerates, securing reliable and scalable power is critical when selecting new data center locations. A leading property developer evaluating multiple sites for data center conversion engaged LEDG to assess power availability across various energy sources—including grid electricity, district energy systems, steam, and renewable options—to ensure long-term viability for colocation and hyperscale tenants.

LEDG conducted a comprehensive power assessment, analyzing existing electrical capacity, grid stability, and the potential for alternative energy integration. We evaluated the feasibility of leveraging steam and district heating for cooling solutions, assessed substation proximity, and worked with utilities to determine expansion timelines. Additionally, we analyzed backup power strategies, renewable energy integration, and cost implications to align with sustainability and operational goals.

By leveraging LEDG’s due diligence, the developer gained a clear roadmap for site selection, ensuring each location could support scalable, high-density operations while optimizing power efficiency and long-term sustainability.

Data Center Services Provider Evaluates Second & Tertiary Markets

A leading data center services provider looking to expand into secondary and tertiary markets engaged LEDG to assess specific locations for feasibility and infrastructure readiness. The provider identified multiple sites requiring in-depth due diligence to determine their suitability for datacenter development.

LEDG conducted a comprehensive site assessment, analyzing power availability, grid capacity, fiber connectivity, structural integrity, and cooling potential. We worked with local utilities and municipalities to evaluate upgrade requirements, permitting challenges, and economic incentives. Additionally, we provided a comparative analysis of site-specific risks, operational costs, and long-term scalability to ensure each location aligned with the provider’s growth strategy.

Through LEDG’s site evaluation, the provider gained actionable insights to make informed investment decisions, ensuring optimal market entry while mitigating infrastructure and regulatory risks.

Real Estate Investor Creates a Digital Strategy for Large Multi-Year,
Multi-Use Development

A leading real estate investor undertaking a large, multi-year, multi-use development engaged LEDG to create a comprehensive digital strategy for the entire redevelopment. With the scale and complexity of the project, the investor sought to integrate future-proof technology solutions that would support a diverse mix of commercial, residential, and research and lab spaces while ensuring long-term operational efficiency.

LEDG conducted a full smart buildings digital assessment, evaluating network architecture, occupant experience needs, smart building systems, and connectivity solutions. We worked closely with stakeholders to align technology planning with sustainability goals, tenant requirements, and evolving digital demands. Our strategic roadmap provided a framework for implementing scalable, high-performance infrastructure, ensuring seamless connectivity and long-term digital resilience across the development.
