FAQs
What exactly is a data center, and why would I want one on my land?
A data center is a facility that houses computer systems and associated components. It contains computing infrastructure such as servers, data storage drives, and network equipment. With an investment in our assessment, it could potentially lead to significant returns -- if your land is suitable for data center development.
How much could I potentially earn from my land?
Acre Insight assessments could help you unlock potential earnings in the millions, depending on your property’s suitability for data center development. For example, high potential land in Northern Virginia, specifically Data Center Alley, can have valuations of more than $3 million per acre.
What is the process like for building a data center?
Acre Insight doesn’t build data centers. We provide expert assessment to help you understand your land’s potential for data center development. Here’s a simplified overview of the generalized data center development process:
1. Land assessment (our service)
2. Site selection and acquisition
3. Design and planning
4. Permitting and approvals
5. Construction
6. Equipment installation
7. Testing and commissioning
If the land is attractive, we can help you determine what some next steps might be.
What information do I need to provide for an assessment?
To get started, we will need basic information about your property, such as its location (parcel number, coordinates, or similar), size, and current use. Acre Insight will let you know if we need any additional information for the assessment(s).
How quickly can you assess my property?
Under our standard service model, we will deliver a completed assessment in 8 business days. Under our expedited service model, we will cut this to 3 business days.
What exactly do you assess in your reports?
Acre Insight assessments cover:
• Existing grid conditions and stability
• Fiber connectivity options
• Natural disaster risk evaluations
• Local zoning compliance and regulatory compliance
• Environmental features (wetlands, floodplains, soils, and topography)
• Land restrictions (e.g., conservation, cultural resources)
• Critical habitat and species
Does Acre Insight visit our location in-person?
No, we conduct the assessments fully remotely. Our best-in-class technology allows reports without physical site visits. This approach ensures rapid, cost-effective, and accurate assessments for our clients across different locations.
Does Acre Insight connect prospective site owners with developers?
Yes, if a site is found to have high-potential for data center development, Acre Insight will connect you to our network of vetted developers.
What makes Acre Insight different from other land assessment services?
We specialize exclusively in data center site assessments, offering rapid, expert-driven evaluations with a focus on the unique requirements of data center development. We value your privacy and don’t market your property without your consent.
