LANDFALL

INFRA

Where the grid meets the ground.

ILLUSTRATIVE — NOT A SITE UNDER OPTION

Landfall Infra secures and develops powered land for data centres, taking a parcel through grid connection, permitting and engineering until it is ready to build. We work alongside landowners and local partners, and hand over sites that are ready to build.

The constraint

Compute is not short of capital, concrete or chips. It is short of land that can be powered, and proven.

The binding constraint has moved upstream: to the grid connection, the consents and the paperwork that proves both. That is the part of the chain we work on.

Announcements are made in gigawatts. Sites are bought on answers. Is the connection agreement signed or only applied for? Who holds the substation rights? What is the water allocation, and where does the fibre come from? We build the file of answers. That is the business.

What we do

A site a developer can underwrite on the day they see it.

We take each parcel through a fixed order of gates, every one evidenced in writing, and package the result as a handover pack. At every gate we work with established specialist advisers rather than asserting the answer ourselves. The permit path runs in parallel rather than after, which is what takes months out of the front end.

We do not build or operate data centres. We take a parcel to the point where construction is started, and can stay on as project manager until the centre is operational.

We hand sites to data centre developers, operators and powered-land investors — the people paid to carry tenant risk. We do not sell to hyperscalers. We sell to the people who sell to them.

    A complete handover pack the developer can take straight to construction.

How we screen

Nine criteria, sixty-seven checks, and one bar for every site.

Every parcel is assessed against the same framework, built for data centres by people who have developed and operated them.

Sixteen of the checks are go/no-go: any one of them can stop a site outright, whatever else it scores. The score is weighted by workload, because a site that suits AI training may not suit inference, cloud or network edge. One site, four answers.

Every screen states how much of itself is evidenced

Independently verified Secondary source Still blank

We leave the blanks blank rather than estimating them, and we count them. That coverage number is what sets the scope of the work that follows. The screen does not only rank a site, it writes the programme for it. The split above is the shape of a screen, not a figure for any one site.

Fifty of the sixty-seven components scored, seventeen left blank. None of the sixteen gate items failed, so nothing is disqualified — but two sit one downgrade away and three are still unscored. On this evidence it is better land than it is a training campus, and the screen says so.

What we look for

Land near a substation, with power that can be delivered by 2029.

Power does not need to be contracted yet. It does need a clear path to being secured in the near term, and we will ask to see it in writing.

Grid capacity

30 to 50 MW

A workable starting point. Ideally 100 MW or more per site.

Energisation

2027 to 2029

Dated, with a credible route to connection.

Land

Near a substation

Preferably close, but it does not need to be adjacent. Land area and distance to the connection point decide the case.

Power

Grid or behind the meter

Generation behind the meter is of high interest.

Structure

Co-development first

Often with an option or exclusivity. Acquisition is also possible.

Markets

Europe, Africa and Asia

Markets where grid capacity, land and permits can still be secured.

How we work with partners

You know the ground. We know what the developer needs.

We work a site up the ladder with the party that holds the land or the power: site control, grid capacity, connection, permits. Each gate adds value to the land, and we share what it adds.

We agree the structure site by site. Our usual starting point is co-development with the owner of the land and power, often with an option or exclusivity on the site. Acquiring the land is also possible. We have financial flexibility and can come in as an equity partner.

It does not need your capital, and there is no power-market risk on either side. Most of our return comes as a share of the value we create on the site, so we are paid when you are. The split is agreed with each partnership.

You, the local partner

  • Land, access and the chain of title.
  • Standing with the utility and the authorities.
  • The local relationships that decide whether a consent takes four months or fourteen.

Together

  • Grid strategy: which node, and what to ask for.
  • The energisation route, and who carries it.
  • The case the developer is shown.

Us, Landfall Infra

  • What the handover pack must contain to survive diligence.
  • Data centre permitting and engineering.
  • The developers who underwrite sites, and the relationships to reach them.

Track record

Done once already, in one of Europe's most constrained grids.

Two of our founders took a greenfield site through grid capacity, consents and engineering to the start of construction, in a market where most of the queue is still waiting. One hundred megawatts, secured and energising.

That was done at another company, before Landfall. On a Landfall site, building and operating go to a developer — not to us.

The portfolio

Eighteen parcels under review, across eleven countries.

Some are under agreement, some in diligence, most still being tested. We do not publish site identities: most sit under confidentiality agreements, and the ones that do not are live negotiations.

What we can say is where we are looking, and how far the work has gone.

Next

Three steps, none of them expensive.

  1. 01

    Shortlist

    You share the parcels you hold or can access. We screen them against developer appetite and tell you honestly which ones are real.

  2. 02

    Walk one

    We visit the strongest candidate together and test the grid and permit path with the people who decide it.

  3. 03

    Structure

    If it holds up, we agree how we work it together and how the uplift is shared. We carry the cost of the early work and take our return from the uplift. Nothing binding before then.

Send us the key facts.

  • Location
  • MW and connection status
  • Energisation timing
  • Land area and distance to the substation

We are happy to sign our mutual NDA first.
