Highlands CRE develops data center sites with power certainty as the foundational requirement—not an afterthought. Our deep relationships with utility providers and expertise in interconnection ensure sites meet demanding specifications.
Power availability has become the primary constraint on data center expansion. Sites that meet your technical specifications are available; sites with secured power capacity are not.
The challenge isn't finding land—it's finding land with a clear path to the megawatts your operations require, on the timeline your business demands.
We develop sites with secured power capacity and clear interconnection timelines. We work directly with utility providers as development partners, not just customers—giving us insight into grid capacity and upgrade plans that informs site selection.
We handle site identification, entitlement, and development so you can focus on facility design and operations. Our real estate execution experience translates directly to data center campus development.
Unlike developers who approach utilities as customers seeking power delivery, we engage utilities as development partners with shared interests. This relationship—built on our team's energy infrastructure background—creates advantages in power certainty, pricing structures, and long-term capacity planning that transactional relationships cannot match.
We target sites where our combined capabilities create advantages: utility adjacency, favorable grid capacity, and supportive regulatory environments.
We navigate zoning, permitting, and community engagement—the same processes we've managed across hundreds of millions of dollars in development projects.
We optimize project economics through incentive capture, partnership structures, and capital formation.
We understand queue positions, upgrade requirements, and utility planning processes from years of energy infrastructure development.
We're developing sites in markets where power availability and development economics align.
