Property Description

~1,300-acre powered-land opportunity in El Paso County, southeast of Colorado Springs (attainment air zone). Flexible carve-out from ~100 up to ~1,300 acres, sized to the campus plan, with the balance available for on-site power generation.

Power

  • The site is planned as fully islanded behind-the-meter generation. No grid interconnection is being pursued, so speed to power is a construction schedule rather than a utility queue.
  • Prospective ~500 MW of natural gas can be extended to the site via a 16-inch lateral off the Colorado Interstate Gas (CIG) system; scalable toward ~800 MW. ~1-year line build.
  • Behind-the-meter reciprocating-engine generation is the primary path: bridge power up to ~300 MW targeted ~Q1 2028, permanent plant ~Q1 2029. Both dates run from a firm gas commitment, which follows entitlement.
  • Up to ~1 GW ultimate site potential.

Site

  • 100% owned; owner holds water and mineral rights (on-site Fox Hill aquifer, closed-loop glycol cooling favored by the dry ~6,000 ft climate).
  • Straight rezone from agricultural to industrial (data center and power generation by-right) is in process, with land-use counsel and a local land-use consultant engaged. Entitlement is the gating path item; approval is not expected before 2027.
  • Fiber via Zayo (~12,000 ft build to long-haul + metro).

Available for sale, lease, or JV.

Additional Details

Zoning
Agricultural (A-35), El Paso County. Straight rezone to industrial (data center and power generation by-right) is in process, with land-use counsel and a local land-use consultant engaged. Entitlement is the gating path item; approval is not expected before 2027.
Workforce Access
Colorado Springs metro labor pool, with an aerospace and defense employment base; a Space Force installation sits roughly 3 miles away.
Government Incentives
Within the El Paso County economic development zone. Colorado has no statewide data-center sales-tax exemption as of 2026.
Community Sentiment
No adjacent residential neighbors. The property borders state and BLM land, and the nearest suburban residential sits across a tract of roughly 8,000 acres. The county master plan adopted in 2021 maps the site in a rural place type and does not contemplate data centers, so the rezone is decided on its own merits through public hearings. El Paso County is business-friendly.
Flood Zone
Mapped from an unstudied 1940s-era floodplain. A restudy is underway and is expected to narrow the mapped channel to roughly 50 ft.
