Advancing Data Center
Infrastructure & Development
S&P sets itself apart in the data center development industry through our unique ability to partner with landowners in a landowner-first way, building successful projects from the ground up.
Our Mission
At S&P Data Center Development, we believe the future of digital infrastructure depends on going beyond the grid. With utility power increasingly constrained, the gap between demand and available supply continues to widen. Natural gas is the bridge; it's the practical, scalable solution that enables data centers to grow today while the world waits for nuclear and other next-generation options to mature. Our vision is to lead the industry in developing gas-enabled data center campuses. We’re not just delivering data center sites, we’re building the blueprint for the next decade of growth in digital infrastructure.
Our Experienced Team
The S&P team is a blend of master plan assemblage and development, large scale capital raising, detailed horizontal development and engineering, Data Center operations and Hyperscale relationships. This blend allows the team to have all the bases covered, and do each portion of the process as the best in class.
