// PowerSite Data Center Group — United States Advisory
PowerSite Data Center Group provides cross-border data center advisory for Canadian operators, developers, and investors expanding into US markets — with site selection, tenant representation, and investment sales capability across major US data center hubs.
The United States remains the world's largest and most liquid data center market. For Canadian operators and investors, the US represents both an expansion opportunity and a portfolio diversification strategy — accessing markets with deeper tenant pools, higher rents, and more institutional liquidity than Canadian alternatives.
PowerSite provides cross-border advisory for Canadian companies entering US markets — navigating the regulatory, tax, and structural differences that make US data center transactions materially different from Canadian ones. We work in partnership with licensed US brokerages to ensure compliant, credible execution in every market.
The world's largest data center market. Land scarcity and power constraints are driving development into adjacent markets. Deep institutional buyer pool and hyperscale tenant concentration.
Dallas-Fort Worth leads; Houston and San Antonio expanding. Low land costs, competitive power, and no state income tax. Strong colocation and hyperscale demand.
Rapidly growing market with institutional-grade colocation presence. Lower costs than NoVa with strong enterprise and financial services demand.
Major hyperscale campus market. Abundant land, competitive power, and one of the deepest development pipelines in the US. Water management is a key siting consideration.
Emerging hyperscale market with Google, Meta, and Amazon investments. Competitive land costs, available power, and central US fibre routing make it attractive for large programs.
Historically dominated by hyperscale. Low-carbon hydroelectric power, cold climate, and proximity to West Coast fibre routes. Increasingly competitive for new supply.
AI infrastructure demand is reshaping the US data center market. Power is the primary constraint — securing large-load interconnection agreements (100MW+) in established markets requires years of queue navigation. Emerging markets offer faster timelines but require more development infrastructure. We help clients navigate this landscape.
For Canadian data center operators and developers, US expansion typically begins with a cross-border advisory mandate — understanding the regulatory differences, identifying the right market, structuring the entity correctly, and finding land or leasing capacity. PowerSite manages this entire process.
US data center real estate transactions require engagement with licensed US brokers. PowerSite works in formal partnership with licensed US brokerage firms in our target markets — ensuring every transaction is properly structured and compliant across both jurisdictions.
The US data center investment sales market is the most liquid in the world. Cap rates, buyer pools, and transaction velocity are all deeper than Canadian markets — but so is the competition for quality assets. We provide advisory for Canadian investors acquiring US assets and for US operators considering Canadian expansion.
For Canadian investors seeking US data center exposure — market selection, asset sourcing, underwriting support, and acquisition advisory across major US markets.
For US operators with Canadian assets, or Canadian operators with US assets — managing cross-border disposition processes with coordinated tax and legal structuring.
For US sellers seeking tax-deferred reinvestment through 1031 exchange into qualified US data center replacement properties within prescribed timelines.
Multi-asset portfolio transactions spanning both Canada and the United States — coordinated advisory across both markets with aligned institutional buyer outreach.
