DIGITAL INFRASTRUCTURE ADVISORY
Data Center Site Selection & Development
Texas Silva Run guides developers, investors, and technology companies through the most critical decision in any data center project: where to build. We conduct rigorous site reconnaissance and technical due diligence, delivering a clear, decision-ready report your team can act on with confidence.
Data centers are the fastest-growing asset class in commercial real estate, driven by AI adoption, cloud expansion, and the exponential growth of digital services. Yet supply remains critically constrained making site selection more strategic, and more competitive, than ever.
Our advisory is always objective and aligned to your investment goals. We combine Texas-based market knowledge with deep technical due diligence across power, connectivity, terrain, and regulatory dimensions. All in one advisory engagement.

Five Pillars of Site Intelligence
Before a single dollar of capital is committed, your site must pass rigorous tests across five dimensions. Each one we evaluate with precision, the result is a comprehensive site intelligence report that removes uncertainty from your investment decision.
01
Site Reconnaissance & Terrain Analysis
Before any data center breaks ground, the land must be physically evaluated. We assess candidate sites for the conditions that determine whether a development is viable the factors that standard real estate due diligence often misses.
— Topographic and soil composition assessment for foundation suitability
— Flood zone, seismic risk, and natural hazard mapping
— Environmental impact screening and regulatory due diligence
— Proximity analysis hazardous zones, flight paths, interference sources
— Field-level site visits and terrain documentation
02
Power & Utility Assessment
Power availability is the single biggest constraint in data center development today. A 100MW facility needs a serious grid commitment before a single dollar goes into construction. We evaluate power with the precision the stakes demand.
— Grid capacity and substation proximity analysis.
— Timeline-to-energize assessment from local utilities
— Renewable energy access and behind-the-meter solutions
— Redundancy and backup power infrastructure review
— Utility coordination and rate negotiation advisory
03
Connectivity & Fiber Infrastructure
A data center without robust network access is unusable. We map the full connectivity landscape before you commit to a site. Ensuring the infrastructure matches your operational requirements.
— Fiber route mapping and Points of Entry identification
— Latency analysis relative to your target markets and end users
— Carrier diversity and network redundancy assessment
— Proximity to carrier hotels and internet exchange points
04
Regulatory, Incentives & Zoning
Texas offers significant data center incentives, including sales tax exemptions on equipment and property tax abatements, that can save a developer millions. Identifying and securing these requires knowing where to look and how to apply.
— Zoning classification and land-use permitting review
— State and local tax incentive identification, abatements and exemptions
— Water rights, cooling infrastructure, and environmental permitting
— Regulatory timeline modeling and risk mapping
05
Financial & Investment Feasibility
We tie all site variables into a clear financial picture so your investment decision is fully informed. Every site gets scored and compared, not just described, so you can commit capital with confidence.
— Land acquisition cost benchmarking and negotiation support
— Development cost modeling — infrastructure, utilities, site preparation
— ROI analysis and investment risk assessment
— Comparative site scoring and final recommendation report
