Investment brief
The thesis, the pipeline, the engagement model, and a direct contact pathway. This brief is written for infrastructure allocators, hyperscaler real estate and procurement teams, and sovereign capital principals.
Disclosure standard
Continode does not make claims that cannot survive institutional due diligence. The following is what is true as of the date this page was last updated. Fabricated commitments are a liability before they are an asset.
The thesis
Global hyperscaler capital expenditure on data centre infrastructure is accelerating. The constraint in Australia is not tenant appetite — Microsoft, Google, Amazon and Oracle have announced or begun large-scale Australian deployments. The constraint is the supply of credibly de-risked, powered, consented development positions. Grid connection timelines, HV equipment lead times, and land with water and fibre are the binding variables.
UAE-based sovereign funds, family offices and infrastructure allocators are actively seeking long-duration AUD-denominated infrastructure positions. The combination of Australian sovereign stability, grid-connected industrial land, and AI-driven hyperscaler demand is a structurally attractive proposition for capital that has been deploying into European and North American data centre infrastructure but has limited direct access to the Australian market.
Continode originates the development position — site control, grid connection pathway, water access, fibre route logic — and structures the capital stack. We do not build and we do not operate. We hold the origination and structuring role across the development cycle, from site identification to operating partnership. The pipeline below represents that work in progress.
Generic site advisory produces reports. Continode produces controlled sites with connection applications on lodge and capital structures in preparation. The distinction matters to international capital allocators doing due diligence: a site with an enquiry advanced, a landowner under agreement, and a capital stack in design is a different asset than a site screening spreadsheet.
Pipeline
Both sites are in origination. Neither is an operating data centre. The difference between them is how far Continode has progressed the four inputs: power, water, fibre, and land.
400 MW master plan
25 hectares controlled on a single parcel. Power, water, fibre and land assembled for 80 MW Stage 1. Two Powerlink / Energex connection pathways under formal assessment. Staged to 200 MW and 400 MW on the same parcel.
Open project sheet200 MW
Second Queensland origination. Transmission corridor identified and screened against 200 MW load profile. Connection enquiry in preparation. Landowner engagement not yet commenced. Location withheld until structural agreement.
Open project sheetEngagement model
Continode structures the capital conversation before it begins. Ownership vehicle, return profile, AUD currency exposure, FIRB clearance pathway, and the investment thesis specific to each site. Capital introductions are made only when the project can support institutional due diligence. Advisory fees are paid by the client. No placement fees.
info@continode.com — describe mandate, ticket size, and FIRB profile.
Technical requirements, power redundancy, cooling specification, rack density, Tier classification, and commissioning window drive the facility design. Tenant dialogue is structured to produce written technical requirements before capital is raised. No tenant is named until an agreement is executed.
info@continode.com — describe capacity requirement, timeline, and technical envelope.
Continode screens candidate sites against power, water, fibre, land tenure, planning, and cooling criteria. A site that clears all inputs against a hyperscale load envelope proceeds to a viability memo. Confidentiality is the default. Continode does not take introduction fees from landowners.
