Stream Data Centers: Building and Operating Data Centers for Enterprises and Hyperscalers

One of the most crucial stages in the lifetime of any project is site development, which guarantees that data center operators can provide capacity to tenants without any surprises. In order to provide their clients with the capacity they require when and where they require it, Stream Data Centers is committed to providing site development knowledge that provides de-risked, shovel-ready locations. At Stream Data Centers, they think that buying, setting up, and running data center capacity should be a wonderful experience. So that there is enough capacity if and when it is needed, they invest in great people and great facilities in the right markets.

Around 80% of Stream’s clients are Fortune 500 firms. In order to create highly credible, durable, and secure environments with mutually advantageous security standards at each location, Stream engages with the top corporate corporations in order to develop an ecosystem of technically knowledgeable clients. Since 1999, Stream Data Centers has offered high-end data center services, with 90% of its available inventory leased to Fortune 100 clients. Since its founding 23 years ago, the firm has purchased, built, and operated 24 data center sites around the country with the same leadership. For hyperscale and business consumers, Stream creates wholesale colocation capacity and build-to-suit solutions, from site selection to data center building and maintenance. In addition, Stream finds and develops low-risk land locations for the construction of data centers and offers energy procurement services with an emphasis on lowering market risk and supplying affordable renewable energy solutions. Carrier-neutral, low-latency access to networks and public cloud providers is available at all of Stream’s sites.

The technical real estate division of full-service commercial real estate investment, development, and services firm Stream Realty Partners is called Stream Data Centers. Stream Realty Partners is one of the most prosperous commercial real estate companies in the nation, transacting $5.8 billion in annual transactions and managing or leasing over 270 million square feet of commercial space in active markets from coast to coast. By providing a comprehensive location strategy approach to data center deployment that includes due diligence, zoning and land use permitting, utility upgrades and interconnections, energy procurement, and negotiations for economic development incentives, Stream goes above and beyond conventional site selection processes. The team compiles a list of critical location factors after analyzing market circumstances and client feedback. Then, Stream collaborates with several local stakeholders to compile a thorough inventory of both on- and off-market properties. Then, using a data-driven methodology, these sites are thoroughly examined to make sure that each client can trust that they are utilizing the location with the strongest foundations. This strategy demonstrates Stream’s dedication to providing the best data center procurement experience in the industry. Mike Armstrong, Managing Director of the Stream Investment Practice, extols, “A key differentiator that helped us win, beyond our longstanding track record of successfully investing in and developing data centers, was our people and putting relationships first.”

Lives are saved by a strong health, safety, and environmental (HSE) plan. Additionally, it promotes a culture of accountability that guarantees proper facility operation. As a recognized expert in workplace security, Stream is dedicated to protecting their staff, their clients, and the communities in which they do business. The foundation for developing trust with their staff, subcontractors, clients, tourists, and other stakeholders, in their opinion, is safety. Stream Data Centers make a concerted effort to establish a solid safety culture to guarantee that there are no known health and safety dangers at work. Armstrong concludes, “I have worked closely with Stream for many years and witnessed how their purpose-built, strategic approach to business has positioned them to be a leader in commercial real estate.”
