Determining the relative cost of data center development in one location versus another is a core part of data center location strategy and site development at Stream.
Our proprietary Geographic Information System (GIS) platform is a quick way to reject sites where development would be too expensive, time-consuming, or otherwise risky. It enables us to uncover risks well before they become costly project delays. (For example, revealing soil conditions that would have added $15-20 million to the development cost.) With the GIS platform, Stream has built a Development Cost Index that ranks properties according to the potential for success. The highest-ranked ones are the potential sites for which our team conducts on-the-ground due diligence.
