Horizontal Data Center Development

Groundwork
for the grid.

Chambliss, Brown & Co. secures the entitlements, power agreements, and pre-leases that transform raw land into development-ready infrastructure - before a single foundation is poured.

What We Do Contact the Firm

Groundwork for the grid.

The Firm

We operate at the front end of the data center development lifecycle - handling the complex, high-barrier work of site entitlement, power procurement, and pre-leasing that most developers are neither equipped nor positioned to execute. What we deliver is not a building. It is the foundation for one.

Core Business Activities

What We Do

Full Overview →

Site Entitlement

We navigate the full permitting and entitlement process for data center use - zoning, environmental review, regulatory approvals - in markets where the barriers are highest and the competition is most constrained.

Power Procurement

We negotiate and secure power agreements directly with utilities - including long-lead transmission and substation arrangements - delivering the power certainty that hyperscalers require before committing to a site.

Conceptual Site Planning

We develop preliminary site plans that demonstrate development feasibility, establish critical dimensions, and provide vertical developers with the planning foundation needed to move directly into design and construction.

Pre-Leasing to Hyperscalers

We bring sites to market with hyperscaler commitments already in place - reducing risk for vertical developers and accelerating the development timeline from acquisition to groundbreaking.

Differentiation

Why Chambliss, Brown & Co.

The front end of data center development is where projects succeed or fail - and where most developers lack the relationships, regulatory expertise, and utility access to execute. Chambliss, Brown & Co. was built specifically for this work.

Deep Utility Relationships

Tennessee Valley Authority,Southern Company, Memphis Light, Gas and Water and local utilities and co-ops. Our access to utility decision-makers accelerates power procurement timelines that typically stall development.

Regulatory Expertise

We have navigated entitlement processes across multiple markets and jurisdictions, building institutional knowledge of the regulatory landscape that is not replicable without a track record.

Hyperscaler Network

Our relationships with real estate and infrastructure teams at the world's largest technology companies allow us to bring pre-lease commitments to the table before a vertical developer takes on a site.
