If anyone could find ‘the right place at the right time’ on a map, it would be Mike Lebow.
After developing data center sites for one of the world’s largest and most sophisticated technology companies, Mike brought his expertise to Stream, where he continues to keep hyperscale data center development ahead of demand by keeping Stream’s location and capacity pipeline stocked with de-risked, shovel-ready sites.
Mike has curated a team of real estate and development experts that offer comprehensive location strategy experience to support Headwaters Site Development, an independent affiliate of Stream launched in 2022. Together, the team has created a sophisticated proprietary software and robust diligence process that finds, acquires and develops the highest-quality, lowest-risk sites to support an evolving, competitive market.
Committed to responsible development, Mike and his team work collaboratively with customers, communities and landowners to drive mutually beneficial, high-value development opportunities.
This practice is founded on a culture of honesty and transparency that matches the philosophy he grew up with as the grandson of entrepreneurs in rural Pennsylvania. For Mike, a handshake is as solid as a contract, and the only way to do business is by treating people the right way because it’s the right thing to do.
When combined with the Stream team’s focus on trust, creativity and problem-solving, this approach forms the bedrock of a leading location strategy and site development program capable of meeting the needs of even the most constrained market.
