Private Acquisition Reviews
Data Centre Axis handles acquisitions through private introductions rather than public listings. Parties share non-sensitive summaries so discussions can proceed before exchanging confidential records.
We review stated requirements against our research, supply individually scoped briefs, and arrange managed private introductions where both parties agree. Commercial terms remain between the parties.
Buyers seeking bare land can review data centre land. Teams seeking contracted capacity rather than property acquisitions can evaluate colocation options.
Diligence Questions for Operating Assets
Evaluating an operational data centre requires practical diligence across technical, legal, and operational factors:
- Power capacity: What is the contracted import capacity, substation reservation, and expansion timeline?
- Plant and cooling: What is the age, redundancy, and service history of uninterruptible power supplies, generators, and chillers?
- Leases and income: What are the lease expiries, renewal rights, indexation provisions, and counterparty credit ratings?
- Tenure: Is the asset freehold or leasehold, and are there transfer restrictions, shared access rights, or ground rent escalations?
- Planning consents: Does the site have valid planning consents, noise permissions, hazardous substance consents, and fuel storage approvals?
- Connectivity: How many carrier networks enter the facility, and are there diverse physical entry points for fibre?
Specialist engineering reviews can be scoped through specialist advisory. Detailed specialist work requires a separate agreed scope.
Submitting Requirements and Profiles
Initial submissions require non-sensitive information. Parties should avoid sharing tenant identities, customer contracts, or utility accounts.
- Buyers submit an acquisition requirement detailing target locations, power scale, and transaction timing.
- Asset owners submit an asset outline covering location, operational status, and power capacity.
Where both parties agree, Data Centre Axis arranges a managed introduction.
Directory Scope and International Enquiries
Public directories are research references covering facilities and projects, not sale inventory. Browse research profiles for Australian data centres and UK data centres. Enquiries for other regions are reviewed individually against research, not through a global matching capability. Capital requirements can be explored through our data centre investment briefs.
