Data center development is an exercise in precision. The origination phase—site selection, initial feasibility, and due diligence—can determine whether a project advances smoothly or stalls before land is ever acquired. With multimillion-dollar stakes, compressed timelines, and rising competition for suitable sites, developers can’t afford inefficiency.
Sitetracker transforms data center origination from a fragmented, manual process into a transparent, repeatable, and portfolio-wide discipline. Purpose-built for large-scale infrastructure, Sitetracker gives developers the clarity, control, and speed they need to advance confidently from site identification to acquisition.
Why Origination Needs a Smarter Approach
Traditional origination relies on a patchwork of GIS maps, spreadsheets, email threads, and consultant reports. The result:
- Portfolio visibility is limited.
- Approvals and funding gates are inconsistent.
- Vendor and consultant engagement drags on.
- Critical dependencies like power, fiber, and zoning are missed until it’s too late.
Sitetracker eliminates these blind spots. Every site, diligence report, contract, and approval lives in one platform—so decision-makers always see the full picture across the entire portfolio.
Sitetracker Advantages in Data Center Origination
1. Smarter Site Selection & Initial Feasibility
- Centralize land parcel data, power and fiber availability, and transport access in one view—so your team can compare options and prioritize viable sites faster.
- Run early feasibility packs and test fits with consistent inputs, eliminating manual research and version confusion.
- Make confident funding decisions with reporting that tracks progress, risks, and readiness across your entire land bank.
Result: Faster, more defensible decisions on which sites to pursue.
2. Streamlined Due Diligence
- Engage diligence partners through a standardized, trackable vendor bid process.
- Store and manage environmental reports, encumbrance checks, and risk registers directly in Sitetracker.
- Track power studies, utility applications, and grid connection status with milestone-level visibility—so you’re never surprised by interconnection delays.
- Evaluate planning permission feasibility early to avoid downstream surprises.
Result: A clear, auditable path from early due diligence to full site diligence without missed steps.
3. Seamless Land Acquisition
- See lease status, conditions, and contracts across all land parcels.
- Collaborate on version-controlled drawings and site plans.
- Manage negotiations and vendor contracts with built-in transparency.
Result: Land acquisition that moves forward systematically, supported by a complete record of diligence, approvals, and financial justification.
