The squeeze

Operators don't lose AI deals on chips anymore. They lose them waiting for power.

The market has run out of the one thing it can't build quickly. Here's what every AI operator is up against in 2026:

0%
North American colocation vacancy — a record low, two years running
0%
Of new capacity leased before a single cabinet is installed
0
Average wait for a new grid connection in primary markets
0
Months ahead operators now secure capacity, in advance of deployment

The scarcest input in AI isn't compute. It's an energized interconnect — and ours is already in the ground.
The site

Powered land, ready for your hardware.

Everything an AI deployment needs except the chips — energized, fiber-ready, and 45 minutes from Denver.

How it works

You bring the hardware. We power the rest.

Path A — Powered land

Drop your units onto live power

For modular and containerized AI operators. Land on energized capacity in weeks, not the years a new interconnect demands.

  • We deliver: land, energized interconnect, fiber, site readiness
  • You bring: your modular units, cooling, and compute
  • You own and operate your infrastructure end to end
Path B — Colocation

Rack your servers, keep your stack

For teams deploying their own GPU servers. We provide the built environment; you retain full control of your hardware.

  • We deliver: power, cooling, space, security, day-to-day ops
  • You bring: your GPU servers and software
  • Scale from a single container into the interconnect headroom

Connectivity

Carrier-diverse fiber, built to data-center standard.

Three carrier paths into the site — redundant, diverse, and enterprise-grade. Not shared cable service: dedicated, point-to-point fiber engineered for uptime-sensitive AI workloads.

Confirmed, in delivery

Comcast Business

  • Two fully diverse, dedicated fiber circuits (primary + physically separate secondary path)
  • Up to 100 Gbps per circuit, symmetrical, non-contended (no shared segments)
  • Private Layer 2 transport, true path diversity and fault isolation
  • Active Ethernet architecture on Ciena hardware — the same platform behind AWS, Meta, Google, and Microsoft
  • Serviceability survey complete; ~90–120 day delivery
Dark fiber available

Zayo

  • Dark fiber along the I-25 corridor to the site
  • Carrier-neutral, fully scalable capacity you control end-to-end
  • Direct path toward the Denver interconnection hub
Additional carrier path

Lumen

  • Further carrier diversity along the corridor for multi-path redundancy
Enterprise-grade, point-to-point fiber on the same hardware platform the hyperscalers run — built to meet or exceed any data-center client's requirements.

The build path

A 12,000 sq ft building, ready to become a Tier III AI facility.

The site includes an existing 12,000 sq ft warehouse — ~9,000 sq ft of open, 24-ft-clear high bay — sitting on energized power and carrier-diverse fiber. It's a ready canvas for a purpose-built, Tier III-class data center for Blackwell-generation GPUs. Two paths, depending on the deployment: convert the existing structure, or scrape and rebuild custom to an end customer's exact specification.

Available now What exists on the site today
  • 12,000 sq ft building — ~9,000 sq ft open, 24-ft-clear high bay
  • Energized power on site
  • Carrier-diverse fiber path
Path 1

Convert the existing building

The fastest route to white space. The high-bay warehouse is built to the kind of structure, clear height, and power proximity a high-density retrofit needs — the model proven by recent bitcoin-to-AI conversions. Built out to Tier III standard for air- and liquid-cooled Blackwell racks.

Path 2

Scrape and rebuild to spec

For a customer who wants a purpose-built facility, the parcel can be cleared and a custom Tier III data center built to their density, redundancy, and cooling requirements from the ground up — on a site where the hardest, longest-lead element, energized power, is already in place.

Planned to Tier III standard

Planned

A full Tier III deployment here is planned to include:

  • Concurrently maintainable design — dual (A/B) power distribution paths, N+1 across critical systems
  • Backup generation with on-site fuel and UPS banks
  • Redundant, concurrently maintainable cooling — air and direct-liquid (DLC) for high-density Blackwell racks
  • Carrier-diverse fiber entry (already in delivery) and redundant core network
  • Tier III physical security — 24/7 staffing, multi-factor and biometric access, CCTV, mantrap entry, secure loading dock with hardware chain-of-custody
  • VESDA detection and pre-action fire suppression
  • OEM/NVIDIA-validated design and commissioning prior to deployment
The result: a concurrently maintainable, ~99.98% availability facility — built to the standard global technology customers require, on an energized site that's ready to start now.
Why now

We're allocating Q1 2027.

One to two customers. Energized capacity, reserved on selection — and a years-long head start on everyone still sitting in the interconnection queue. Applications are reviewed in the order received, and the site is being held for the right operators. Energized today — a live deployment possible within a quarter, not the multi-year interconnect wait.

The team

Built by operators who have fielded AI hardware at scale.

Front Range Compute is led by Rob Carpenter, a two-time AI founder. As CEO of Valyant AI (acquired 2024), he raised $18M and deployed AI hardware and software across national brands, with direct NVIDIA, Amazon, and Google partnerships and five AI patents. He previously founded AppIt Ventures, whose work included MyColorado — the first state-approved digital driver's license in the U.S.

He's joined by partner Jeff Young, who brings 33 years in real estate — acquiring properties, repositioning and turning them around, and running them hands-on as an operator. Jeff has worked across multiple asset classes and been a co-investor on numerous projects, bringing the ownership, operations, and capital discipline that keep a site running long after it's energized.
