As the world becomes increasingly digital, the demand for data centers continues to rise. Data centers house the technology that powers the internet, including servers, storage systems, and networking equipment. However, finding suitable land for these facilities can be a challenge. That’s where 98six° comes in.
Our focus is on the redevelopment and repurposing of environmentally challenged sites, including former power plants and other industrial facilities. These properties often offer the perfect location for data centers and other technology infrastructure, due to their prime location and existing infrastructure.
Here are some of the reasons why our sites are ideal for data center developers and enterprise tenants:
Prime Location: Our sites are often located less than one hour from major metros and waterfronts, making them ideal for data centers and other technology infrastructure. These locations are well-connected to power, water, and fiber optic networks, making them an attractive option for companies looking to expand their physical — and digital — footprints.
Mega Power Capacities: The coal-fired power plants we acquire and remediate were specifically designed to generate large amounts of power. As a result, these sites have mega power capacities that can easily accommodate the needs of data centers and other large-scale energy users.
Existing Infrastructure: Our sites typically have existing infrastructure, including electrical and plumbing systems, that can be repurposed for use in data centers. This means that developers can save time and money by using the existing infrastructure rather than building from scratch.
Large Footprint: Our sites are large, which means that there is ample space for data centers and other infrastructure. This is especially important for companies that require a significant amount of square footage to house their servers and other equipment.
Environmental Sustainability: At 98six°, we are committed to environmental sustainability. This means that we focus on repurposing existing infrastructure and minimizing waste. Our approach to remediation and redevelopment aligns with the sustainable values of many data center developers and enterprise tenants.
Community Engagement: We strive to be good stewards of the communities in which we operate. Our redevelopment efforts often include community engagement, including job training programs and the creation of community spaces. This aligns with the values of many technology companies that prioritize community engagement and social responsibility.
In conclusion, our sites offer an ideal location for data center developers and enterprise tenants looking for sustainable, cost-effective, and well-connected facilities. We are proud to offer these unique and innovative solutions that support the growth and development of the technology industry while prioritizing environmental sustainability and community engagement.
