Data Center Development Model V16
Operate the A.CRE Data Center Development Model (file `Data-Center-Development-Model-v1.6.xlsm`) on the user's behalf, in chat or live in Excel. Use whenever the user underwrites a ground-up data center development, builds a development budget (land/hard/soft) with construction + mezzanine financing, models a colocation lease-up priced on $/kW/month against an IT load (MW) and PUE, sizes a construction loan or refinance takeout, or computes unlevered/levered IRR, equity multiple, yield-on-cost, or development spread for a data center build. Trigger on phrases like "underwrite this data center," "data center development," "model a data center build," "size a construction loan on this data center," "what's my yield on cost," "colocation lease-up," or any combination of "data center" with "develop," "build," "underwrite," "model," or "returns." Do NOT trigger for acquisition of a stabilized/operating data center, non-data-center development, or partnership-waterfall / portfolio roll-ups.
