UNIFI Developers · Real estate & construction

The physical foundations of the Ai era.

Established real estate expertise. A strategic focus on Ai infrastructure.

UNIFI Developers is the real estate development, construction and asset management arm of UNIFI activities. We identify and develop suitable sites and assets in New York and globally, bringing zoning, permitting and a turnkey delivery approach to far edge, edge, cable landing stations, data centers and Ai factories.

An established business. A new infrastructure priority.

Real estate expertise.
A coordinated path to the Ai stack.

We continue our property development, construction, renovation and asset management activities while making Ai infrastructure a major development priority. We identify and assess suitable sites and assets in New York and internationally, then connect the development plan to the wider UNIFI ecosystem.

02 · Development scope

Far edge & edge facilities

Compact and distributed sites closer to networks, users and workloads.

  • Site sourcing, zoning and adaptation
  • Modular and existing building options
  • Connectivity and operating access
Explore the scope

Assess space, utility access, network entry, resilience and local permissions before defining a fit for purpose facility.

Cable landing stations

The land and facilities connecting subsea routes to the network.

  • Landing site, property and permitting interfaces
  • BMH to CLS route coordination
  • Station and backhaul facility readiness
Explore the scope

Coordinate the beach, beach manhole, inland cable route and cable landing station with specialist subsea and terrestrial teams. Setbacks and locations depend on local engineering and permissions.

Real estate & asset management

Continuing property development, construction, renovation and asset management, with suitable assets assessed for Ai infrastructure.

  • Land and property assessment
  • Construction, restoration and renovation
  • Property management, owner representation and asset care
Explore the scope

Evaluate new construction and existing assets against practical requirements, development constraints, cost and long term operating needs.

Real estate remains at our core

Places to build. Assets to improve.

Property development, renovation and asset management continue alongside our strategic focus on Ai infrastructure.

New York waterfront buildings and urban development context

Property development

Assess sites and buildings against location, access, planning constraints and their intended use.

Renovation & fit-out

Coordinate refurbishment, restoration and interior improvements around a defined project brief.

Building & asset care

Support property management, owner representation and the long term care of existing assets.

Built around real requirements

The building is part of a bigger system.

Power access. Network routes. Space to operate and grow.

We connect the real estate decision to the technical brief early, so a site can be assessed against its intended use before construction commitments are made.
