Building and Rental Opportunities
Thorton Labs offers organizations the ability to customize the location, size, design and level of resiliency for their mission critical data center needs.
A build-to-suit lease is a structure that allows the customer to design and customize a data center facility to meet specific or unique design or location needs without a large upfront capital expenditure that comes with building and owning a data center.
A custom-built data center facility can offer several key advantages:
It allows a company to select the ideal geographic location that meets its parameters of business continuity, an optimal tax environment, an ideal mix of power generation and proximity to customers and business operations centers.
Allows a company to forgo large capital expenditures associated with a new data center and instead shift those payments to an operating or capital lease, and strategic operating initiatives that are likely to deliver a higher return on investment
Thorton Labs can contribute its expertise and purchasing power and vendor relationships to leverage time-to-market, land acquisition expertise, data center construction and management experience.
New data center construction, if done correctly, can reduce long-term total cost of ownership by incorporating certified building practices and energy-efficient infrastructure systems that reduce energy use efficiency.
In addition, data centers can evaluate larger scale development for other businesses that can help reduce the total cost of ownership for the tenant.
A building or site can also be designed to incorporate a company's brand and image, which can help increase productivity and employee morale.
