Planning & Pre-Development

Build the right foundation before capital is deployed

Establishing a strong foundation before major capital commitments is critical to program success. Ankura helps owners and developers evaluate feasibility, align power and site strategies, and implement governance frameworks to support scalable, AI-ready data center campuses.

Offerings

Governance Framework Development

We define decision rights, approval thresholds, and interface management protocols across owners, EPCs, and key stakeholders to drive clear accountability and efficient decision-making early in the project lifecycle.

Power Strategy & Phasing

We integrate sequencing across power, equipment, construction, and commissioning activities to align critical delivery points and reduce the risk of delays and stranded capital.

Site & Facility Feasibility

We conduct site and facility assessments, including development constraints and conversion potential, to validate AI/HPC and colocation use cases before major capital commitments.

Capital Formation & Financing

We structure and execute capital formation strategies across equity, debt, and hybrid financing to align with project risk, power availability, and tenant profile for data center developments and expansions.

Independent Valuation Review

We provide independent valuation advisory and third-party report oversight for data center transactions – including coordinating and reviewing appraisals, property condition, and environmental reports – to support underwriting decisions and give lenders, investors, and sponsors a clear, defensible view of asset value and transaction risk.

The Ankura Difference

We bring together site, power, capital, and delivery strategy from the outset, enabling clients to make informed decisions before significant capital is deployed. By aligning technical, commercial, and stakeholder considerations early, we help developers and investors move forward with clarity, reduce downstream execution risk, and establish scalable data center programs built for speed and certainty.
