How to Rapidly Qualify Powered Land for Data Centers With Acres AI

Finding powered land is a defining challenge in data center expansion—and the most important competitive advantage for data center operators, hyperscalers, and developers. The pace of development hinges on the ability to identify suitable land faster than competitors. 

With a single platform connecting parcel data, ownership intelligence, utility layers, and infrastructure constraints, Acres AI helps you analyze viable powered sites faster than competitors.

Step 1: Create a Shortlist of Opportunities Based on Your Criteria

Before evaluating individual sites, Acres helps you instantly narrow your search by leveraging advanced filters and map layers. For example, you can use Acres’ search tools to:

• Focus on parcels of a certain size within a specific zoning code.
  
  
• Filter by substation or transmission line capacity (e.g., available kV/voltage) and instantly view nearby parcels that meet your infrastructure criteria.
  
  
• Locate alternative energy sources including power plants, gas lines, renewable energy, and more.

Step 2: Conduct Rapid Due Diligence With AI Parcel Summaries

The best sites rarely sit on listings. To compete, your team needs to source off-market parcels faster than anyone else and know right away whether it’s worth pursuing.

With one click, Acres AI enables you to instantly surface:

• Energy infrastructure layers, like power transmission lines and substations.
  
  
• Key buildability constraints like elevation, flood zones, and environmental risk tied to the parcel.
  
  
• And every relevant layer associated with a parcel, from zoning to natural gas pipelines.

This helps you eliminate unworkable sites in seconds and double down on qualified parcels that fit your power, access, and environmental criteria.

Step 3: Use Asset Intel to Find the Right Owner for Outreach

Once you’ve identified a viable site, the next step is knowing who to contact. Asset Intelligence uses AI to unpack the full picture behind a single owner name or address, so your team can move fast and reach the right contacts.

Use Asset Intel to:

• Identify true ownership including LLCs and related entities across high-potential sites.
  
  
• Trace portfolios and related holdings to uncover bigger off-market opportunities.
  
  
• Prioritize outreach to owners who are positioned for development conversations.

With faster owner insights, your team can start conversations that actually move deals forward—before your competitors even know who to call.

The New Competitive Edge in Data Center Development

In a market defined by land and power scarcity, the teams that identify the right off market opportunities first and understand it best win. Acres AI gives data center operators and developers the edge to:

• Qualify high-potential, off-market opportunities quickly.
  
  
• Evaluate power access and ownership in one view.
  
  
• Reach the right land owners with speed and clarity.
