Our approach

Start with the requirement.
Develop with purpose.

A turnkey development approach connecting existing real estate expertise with the facilities required for the Ai stack.

We identify and assess sites in New York and internationally, coordinate zoning and permitting, and bring property, construction and technology stakeholders into one development plan. Power, connectivity and financing workstreams connect the project to iNEW, UNIFI Communications and UNIFI Capital.

The development path

Four stages. Clear decisions.

01Assess the site

Site identification, land rights, access, utilities and development potential.

02Define the project

Zoning, permitting, technology requirements, financing and delivery responsibilities.

03Coordinate delivery

Specialist design, construction, technology fit-out and project controls.

04Prepare handover

Commissioning, operating interfaces, property and asset management planning.

Turnkey development & delivery

From the site to an operating asset.

Far edge. Edge. Cable landing stations. Data centers. Ai factories.

Our approach brings site identification, zoning and permitting, facility design coordination, construction, technology fit-out and asset management into one development framework. The project team connects real estate and civil works to electrical systems, cooling, security, network entry and equipment installation requirements.

Property & approvals

Site control, zoning, environmental and permitting workstreams.

Power & connectivity

iNEW power interfaces and UNIFI Communications network requirements.

Capital & construction

UNIFI Capital financing workstreams and UNIFI Developers delivery coordination.

Technology & management

Specialist fit-out, commissioning, operating interfaces and asset care.

Development outputs

Make the next decision concrete.

  • Site and facility requirements brief
  • Property, utility and network interface review
  • Zoning, permitting, environmental and specialist study requirements
  • Development stages, responsibilities and work packages
  • Cost, programme, commissioning and management planning
How the scope is agreed

Start with the information already available. We identify the studies and specialist appointments needed to make a decision, then define outputs, fees and timing in a statement of work.

Technical integration

Connect the facility to its ecosystem.

  • Power strategy with iNEW where applicable
  • Connectivity and corridor interfaces with UNIFI Communications
  • Financing and capital partnerships with UNIFI Capital where applicable
  • Design, construction and technology sequencing with appointed specialists
  • Operating access, security and maintenance requirements
Who delivers what

The project scope identifies the developer, owner, engineer, contractor, equipment suppliers and operator. Regulated work is assigned to qualified parties under local requirements.

Existing assets. New possibilities.

Assess reuse before starting again.

For a suitable property, adaptation can form part of the development strategy. We assess structure, access, utilities, operating constraints and required upgrades against the proposed use.

Property and restoration experience informs the assessment. Technical suitability is established through site specific studies.
