About Proximity Partners

Bridging Real Estate & Edge Computing

We originate partnerships that turn commercial building power into high-value edge computing revenue.

Our Mission

Where Power Meets Opportunity

Proximity Partners was founded on a simple insight: commercial real estate owners possess a massively underutilized asset — available electrical capacity in strategically located buildings.

At the same time, edge computing providers need distributed hosting locations close to end users. The gap between these two needs is where we operate.

We originate, structure, and manage the partnerships that connect CRE owners with vetted edge computing providers — creating recurring revenue streams that far exceed traditional alternatives like cell tower leases, with smaller footprints and greater flexibility.

What We Do

Edge Computing Originations

We are not a technology vendor. We are deal originators and partnership architects focused exclusively on the commercial real estate owner.

Site Evaluation

We assess your property's power capacity, physical layout, and location profile to determine edge computing suitability and revenue potential.

Provider Matching

Our network of vetted edge computing providers is matched to your property's specific characteristics — ensuring optimal terms and reliable operations.

Deal Structuring

We negotiate lease terms, revenue sharing, and operational agreements that protect your interests and maximize long-term returns.

In the Field

Real Installations. Real Revenue.

Edge computing isn't theoretical — it's happening on rooftops and in utility spaces across the country. Compact, modular installations leverage existing building infrastructure to host high-performance computing equipment.

Proximity Partners brings this opportunity to CRE owners who may not even know their buildings qualify. We handle the complexity so you capture the value.
