Independent advisory on site selection, entitlement, power, and valuation for the landowners, developers, and investors behind data center projects.
We have worked for a hyperscaler, for developers, and for landowners, so we know what each side needs from a site. The analysis is built to support your decision, not a transaction.
Independent valuation reports built on comparable transactions, powered-land benchmarks, and a staged view of value as a site moves from raw land to entitled to power-confirmed.
A weighted scorecard across power, site physical conditions, zoning, community, fiber, peering, scale, and water, so competing sites are compared on the same terms.
Zoning and special-use pathways, jurisdiction mapping, and the permits and approvals needed before closing, sequenced against your inspection period.
Interconnection and system-impact positioning, substation and transmission context, upgrade cost and funding scenarios, and what still needs utility confirmation.
Plain-language materials for local officials and residents, covering ratepayer protections, community benefit structures, and examples of how other host communities negotiated.
A senior second opinion on offers, term sheets, and development partners, so the landowner or investor negotiates with the full picture.
Confirm the facts: location, acreage, zoning, ownership, and what is known and unknown about power and fiber.
Pressure-test jurisdiction, entitlement path, utility capacity, and community posture against the target load.
Score the site, benchmark it against comparables, and value it at each stage with assumptions shown.
Deliver a report you can hand to a partner, lender, or board, with a clear list of next steps and open risks.
Ground to Grid Advisory is an independent data center consultancy. We prepare the market analysis, entitlement research, and valuation work that owners, developers, and capital partners rely on when a site decision carries real money.
Casey has spent more than 25 years in real estate development and site selection, the last 12 of them in data centers. That time has been spent on every side of the table: inside a hyperscaler, alongside developers, and on behalf of landowners.
From the first transaction through entitlement, design, and construction, Casey has worked directly with municipalities, utilities, contractors, engineers, architects, and landowners. The result is more than 3.2 GW of powered data center shells and over 70 powered facilities delivered, and every engagement draws on that firsthand experience.
