InfraPartners, an international leader in prefabricated AI data centre solutions, and JLL, a global real estate and investment management company, have announced a new strategic agreement. This collaboration aims to fast-track the development and operation of AI data centres worldwide. The new relationship combines InfraPartners’ next-generation prefabricated AI data centre solutions with JLL’s extensive global ecosystem. This includes JLL’s strategic excellence in site selection, project execution, construction oversight, financial structuring, and world-class facilities management. Together, the two industry leaders address one of the most persistent challenges in data centre development: delivering projects efficiently after site identification.

The investment in AI and data centres is growing rapidly. This surging demand requires new end-to-end delivery models. These models must enable hyperscalers, GPU-as-a-Service (GPUaaS) providers, colocation operators, and enterprise clients to deploy scalable, AI-ready infrastructure with greater speed and certainty. Data centre deployments frequently face risks such as labour shortages, project delays, and complex financing. The InfraPartners and JLL partnership will tackle these key issues directly and holistically, accelerating the delivery of vital AI-ready infrastructure.

Michalis Grigoratos, CEO at InfraPartners, said: “Our clients are asking for faster, lower-risk routes to delivering AI infrastructure. Our prefabricated, upgradeable digital infrastructure integrates seamlessly with JLL’s expertise across the full project lifecycle, so, together we’re focused on providing a superior product that keeps pace with AI infrastructure changes and market growth. Our globally scalable, repeatable approach includes site selection, prefabrication and long-term operations, reducing time-to-first-token and maximizing performance across the lifecycle.”

The new model offers crucial advantages for AI environments that require speed, flexibility, and energy efficiency. InfraPartners has a proven history of collaboration with the world’s largest original equipment manufacturers (OEMs). The use of prefabricated units manufactured offsite improves quality control and minimises onsite construction requirements. Standardised designs allow for faster deployment and seamless upgrades as Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) requirements continue to evolve.

Matt Landek, JLL Division President, Data Centres and Critical Environments, said: “AI infrastructure demands a new approach – one that’s as dynamic and high-performing as the workloads it supports. With InfraPartners, we are delivering a unique blueprint that brings real estate, engineering and operational precision into a unified model.”

Kristen Vosmaer, Managing Director, is involved in managing the relationship with InfraPartners. Her focus is on global program management, including JLL White Space and Facilities Management solutions.

Vosmaer added: “This is one of the first collaborations to fully integrate data centre design, manufacturing, construction, commissioning, computer deployment and lifecycle management for institutional-grade real estate delivery, marking a significant shift in shortening the time to monetization for how mission-critical infrastructure assets are developed and maintained.”

Customers will gain access to market-leading, end-to-end capabilities that accelerate the delivery of AI infrastructure with speed, precision and confidence. This will empower industries and governments to harness the full potential of this historic technological revolution. The collaboration will initially target high-growth AI markets predominantly in EMEA and the United States starting in Q1 2026. There are subsequent plans to scale into additional regions globally.
