Data Center Developers

Based on the most helpful WSO content, there are indeed individuals who work in data center development. This field can be a blend of both infrastructure private equity and traditional real estate groups. For instance, some individuals come from Investment Banking backgrounds, particularly Leveraged Finance, and work in finance or strategy roles for data center operators like Aligned, QTS, and Equinix.

As for finding these groups to connect with, you might want to consider joining industry-specific networking groups or forums. While the Urban Land Institute (ULI) is great for real estate, it may not have a large infrastructure component, depending on your market. You could also consider reaching out to individuals working in the field via LinkedIn or similar professional networking platforms.

Remember, networking is key in these industries, so don't hesitate to reach out and make connections!
