Sustainable Data Centers · Development & EPC
ARF Development provides full-service development, engineering, procurement, and construction for data centers designed to minimize demand on community power, water, and infrastructure.
Built around the whole site
Reliable data infrastructure starts well before construction. We bring site planning, energy strategy, engineering, and project delivery together to develop facilities that are designed around their own operating needs and the communities around them.
Our approach prioritizes on-site generation and storage, efficient cooling, and thoughtful land use. The goal is greater self-sufficiency with less pressure on local utility capacity, water supplies, and public infrastructure.
Three design priorities
Energy, water, and community considerations belong in the development plan from the beginning.
Develop an integrated power strategy around the facility’s load, reliability requirements, and available site resources.
Evaluate cooling and water strategies that support facility performance while conserving local supplies.
Match the project to the site and work through local infrastructure needs early in the process.
The level of self-sufficiency and the final energy and water systems are determined through site-specific feasibility, engineering, and permitting.
One coordinated development process
ARF coordinates the development and EPC work needed to bring the facility and its supporting infrastructure together.
Evaluate land, access, utility and fiber availability, environmental constraints, facility demand, and the potential for on-site energy.
Coordinate site planning, zoning, permitting, municipal engagement, project structuring, and utility requirements.
Bring civil, structural, electrical, cooling, generation, storage, and control-system design into a coordinated project plan.
Coordinate equipment procurement, construction partners, installation, scheduling, and quality control across the facility and energy systems.
Plan testing, integrated system commissioning, documentation, and the transition to ongoing operations and maintenance.
A development partner
We work with project stakeholders to evaluate whether a data center can meet its operating needs while placing a smaller demand on the community’s resources.
