Industry: Data Centers & Digital Infrastructure

Key Facts

Client: Potentia Inc., developer of large-scale technology and energy enabled infrastructure
Project: Heartland Industrial Park, Sullivan County, Indiana
Scale: ~$65 billion in expected total tenant and partner investment by 2030
Asset Type: Gigawatt scale powered land for institutional data and technology users
Mintz Role: Lead legal advisor on land acquisition, power negotiations, joint venture documentation, subsequent sale and closing
Practice Focus: Digital infrastructure, real estate, power, and large-scale development

Potentia sought to acquire and close a transformational, institutional-scale technology infrastructure site capable of supporting the power, reliability, and scalability demands of hyperscale data and advanced technology users. The project required navigating a highly complex development framework, including powered-land considerations, long-term infrastructure planning, and alignment with local stakeholders.

Mintz served as lead legal advisor, bringing together an interdisciplinary Digital Infrastructure team to guide Potentia through the closing of its investment in Heartland Industrial Park. The team structured and executed the transaction to support future multi-tenant, institutional-grade deployment, coordinated powered-land and infrastructure components, and advised on transaction mechanics critical to long-term scalability.

The successful closing marked a significant milestone for Potentia and positioned Heartland Industrial Park as a premier destination for large-scale technology and data infrastructure investment. The project is expected to generate approximately $65 billion in tenant and partner investment, support thousands of construction and permanent jobs, and deliver substantial community benefits, all while enabling Potentia to fully fund its power infrastructure without tax abatements.
