Hark Ventures
Site Origination & Due Diligence.
For developers and operators of data, energy and industrial infrastructure.
Infrastructure projects are often won or lost on the site. For energy, industrial and data facilities, power usually comes first: how much capacity the utility can deliver, how soon, and what upgrades it will require. Then zoning, fiber, water, environmental limits and the local approval process.
We find candidate sites, test them against those constraints and give clients a clear view of what each site can support and what it will take to get it ready. The same work applies to energy and industrial projects.
Our site work is concentrated in Northern Virginia, Maryland, Dallas-Fort Worth, Austin, Atlanta, Silicon Valley and Los Angeles.
