Macro Project Intelligence

We provide early-stage intelligence and advisory support to help clients make informed decisions on location, routing, and development strategy—coordinating with providers, assessing permits, and identifying constraints to ensure clear, confident progress.

Key Areas of Focus

Scott Land evaluates municipalities, power availability, permitting challenges, and regional infrastructure to inform project planning. This analysis includes political factors, commercial activity, fiber networks, and landownership details. The resulting intelligence is customized to each project’s location, size, and objectives.

Siting, Routing, & Analysis 

We specialize in evaluating and selecting optimal sites for data center development by analyzing proximity to fiber and power infrastructure, land conditions, accessibility, and permitting feasibility. We then assess supporting power and connectivity routes through GIS modeling, aerial analysis, and fieldwork to confirm practical constructability and rights-of-way. Our deliverables include validated route options, summary reports, and GIS visuals that inform internal decisions and highlight any on-the-ground constraints.

GIS & Mapping 

Our in-house GIS team provides detailed, location-specific maps that support site selection, routing, and permitting. These maps can include infrastructure overlays, utility corridors, environmental and development constraints, and landownership data. The deliverables are clean, scalable, and easily shareable for internal planning and external collaboration.

Permitting & Acquisition 

Scott Land is a leading Canadian firm specializing in permitting and land acquisition for data centers, fiber networks, and energy projects. Our team handles municipal, provincial, and utility approvals, along with private land negotiations, efficiently managing timelines, easements, and access challenges to keep projects on track.
