Building Conversion to Develop High-Density Liquid-Cooled Facility for AI Compute Capacity
LAS VEGAS, NV / ACCESS Newswire / June 4, 2026 / Vertical Data Inc. (OTCQB:VDTA) (“Vertical Data” or the “Company”), operator of VerticalData.io and GPUfinancing.com, today announced that Vertical Edge, its edge data center platform, has entered into a non-binding Letter of Intent (the “LOI”) to acquire and develop a data center project in one of the top AI infrastructure markets in the United States.
The target site is located within a major U.S. urban core characterized by established fiber carrier hotels, deep power infrastructure, a high concentration of Fortune 500 financial institutions and enterprise tenants, and significant demand for low-latency AI compute that we believe has historically exceeded available supply in the market.
Project Structure
The project is structured as a retrofit of existing urban real estate into a high-density, liquid-cooled data center facility. In markets where greenfield land is scarce and permitting timelines can extend over multiple years, the building conversion model is intended to support faster time-to-revenue, lower capital intensity than ground-up construction and access to locations that are difficult to replicate.
High-density liquid cooling is intended to support the rack densities required by modern AI workloads, which conventional air-cooled infrastructure is not designed to handle. The approach is also expected to reduce power usage overhead, an efficiency consideration that has become increasingly relevant in markets with elevated power costs and enterprise carbon commitments.
Strategic Logic
The project aligns with Vertical Data’s integrated infrastructure strategy. The Company intends to explore placing GPU financing and Vertical Data customers into the facility if a transaction completes, drawing on its existing relationships across enterprises, financial institutions and government customers to support utilization. The ability to originate deployments through financing and route them to owned infrastructure is a core element of how we believe that Vertical Data is building long-term asset value.
“Urban retrofits allow Vertical Edge to deliver capacity faster than new builds, and this market is the kind of location where that timing advantage is most valuable,” said Deven Soni, CEO of Vertical Data. “The density of enterprise demand, the depth of existing connectivity and the limited high-density supply align with how Vertical Edge sources and develops sites. We are focused on infrastructure in markets where the underlying economics support long-term asset value.”
Important Notice Regarding the Letter of Intent
The Letter of Intent described in this release is non-binding and sets no price or final terms. Any transaction remains subject to completion of due diligence, negotiation and execution of definitive agreements, and customary closing conditions. There can be no assurance that the transaction will be consummated on the terms described, or at all.
