Problem
Developers of data centers and other large-scale infrastructure struggle to identify viable land sites, which requires analyzing complex factors such as power availability, transmission proximity, zoning, and regulatory conditions. Landowners, meanwhile, often receive unsolicited offers without understanding what makes their property valuable or what the development process entails.
Solution
Ortelius operates as an open marketplace that connects builders, operators, and enterprises with land partners and data center infrastructure. For developers, the platform uses a proprietary algorithm to surface candidate sites where infrastructure, economics, and regulatory conditions align, analyzing power availability, transmission, zoning, and related factors. For land partners, Ortelius provides free listing, analysis of their property, and passes along indicative, non-binding offers from interested developers. The parties themselves decide whether to engage and negotiate directly; Ortelius does not act as a broker, agent, or fiduciary for either side.
Target Audience
Primary users are data center and infrastructure developers seeking sites, as well as landowners—frequently farmers or rural property owners—who want to evaluate development interest in their land without sacrificing control or privacy.
