Contiguous acreage
Contiguous acreage is land that forms one continuous, connected area, without separation by roads, rail, streams, other owners’ parcels or easements that block building. Data center campuses need large contiguous footprints for data halls, substations and setbacks. A tract with plenty of total acres can still fail if a public road, pipeline corridor or wetland splits it into pieces too small or oddly shaped to use.
