What Tract does

Tract is a Denver-based data center land acquisition and development firm that creates shovel-ready development sites for hyperscale and wholesale data center operators. The company acquires raw land, secures pre-positioned power, fiber, zoning, and entitlements, and then sells or leases these master-planned campuses to hyperscalers (Amazon, Microsoft, Google, Meta) and wholesale data center developers. Tract's portfolio spans over 25,000 acres and 25+ GW of planned capacity across 15 projects in seven US states (Nevada, Texas, Arizona, Virginia, Utah, Iowa, Illinois), with named projects including Peru Shelf (810MW), South Valley (1,215MW), Caldwell Valley (4GW), Morris Technology Park (1GW), and Buckeye Technology Park (1.8GW).

Tract's core technology is not a software platform but a master-planned real estate development model: pre-positioning utility infrastructure (notably the FERC-approved Transmission Security Agreement with ComEd), zoning, and fiber before customer engagement. The company differentiates through an exclusive renewable energy collaboration with Silicon Ranch and has built dedicated teams for utility development, entitlements, and regulatory affairs. Revenue is generated through one-time land transaction fees, development services, and ground leases, with pricing custom-negotiated per project via multi-year enterprise agreements with hyperscalers and wholesale operators.

Tract operates as a portfolio company under Tract Capital Management, LP, led by founder Grant van Rooyen, a 28-year digital infrastructure veteran who previously founded Cologix and led the Teraco acquisition. The company launched Fleet Data Centers as a subsidiary in January 2025, with $4.6 billion in senior secured notes closed for its first 500 MW+ build-to-suit megacampus. Tract has expanded operations into Europe through a dedicated Tract Europe team and pursues a master-planned, capital-intensive land banking model that competes on speed-to-market and entitlement certainty rather than on technology differentiation.

Direct peers

• Compass Datacenters: Hyperscale data center developer focused on modular, customer-driven campuses with deep U.S. site acquisition and entitlement expertise. Closely mirrors Tract's land-banking, pre-positioned infrastructure approach.
• Stack Infrastructure: Independent data center developer operating hyperscale campuses in the Americas with a build-to-suit model. Most directly comparable to Tract in focusing on purpose-built, large-scale, powered-shell campuses for hyperscale tenants.
• T5 Data Centers: Custom, hyperscale, and wholesale data center developer with a build-to-suit model across the U.S. Comparable to Tract in serving enterprise and hyperscale customers with purpose-built facilities and similar land development capabilities.
• EdgeConneX: Specializes in build-to-suit and hyperscale data center campuses across global markets, with expertise in site acquisition and entitlements. Operates as a wholesale developer competing with Tract for hyperscale customers.
• Cologix: Hyperscale and interconnection data center operator also founded by Grant van Rooyen. Closely comparable in operating DNA, though focused on interconnection-rich markets rather than greenfield land development.

Emerging players

• Vantage Data Centers: Major wholesale and hyperscale data center operator expanding rapidly across North America and Europe. Competes with Tract for hyperscale tenants and is among the largest acquirers of powered land; Tract hires include former Vantage personnel.
• Aligned Energy: Hyperscale and wholesale data center operator with adaptive cooling technology and rapid campus expansion. Competes with Tract for hyperscale customers and adjacent in the powered-shell wholesale market.

Broad incumbents

• Equinix: Global colocation and interconnection incumbent. Less of a direct land-development competitor than a hyperscale customer or wholesale buyer of Tract-developed sites.
• QTS Data Centers (Blackstone): One of the largest U.S. wholesale and hyperscale data center operators, now part of Blackstone. Overlaps with Tract in hyperscale leasing but operates an owned-and-operated model rather than a pure land developer model.
• Digital Realty: Global hyperscale and colocation incumbent that acquired 51% of Teraco from Tract's founder. Operates at massive scale across all major markets and overlaps with Tract as a customer and competitor for powered land.
