Put underused space to work
Assess vacant buildings and unused areas within occupied properties, including the changes needed to make suitable space ready.
AI INFRASTRUCTURE DEVELOPMENT
Autumn develops AI infrastructure projects in suitable underutilized spaces within existing properties. We bring together the site, power, capital, equipment and operating partners needed to turn a location into a working compute facility.
INFRASTRUCTURE
Physical infrastructure · Coordinated deliveryAI needs physical infrastructure: specialized servers, reliable electricity, cooling and connections to the people using them. Compute is the processing capacity those servers provide to run AI applications and other demanding workloads.
Autumn’s role is to develop the project around those requirements. We assess the opportunity, coordinate specialist review, and align the site, funding and delivery relationships.
A secure area with the access and building conditions the equipment requires.
Verified electrical capacity and a design for removing the heat equipment produces.
GPU servers for AI processing, connected by networking and suitable internet or fiber service.
Software, workload management, monitoring and equipment support under agreed responsibilities.
SUSTAINABILITY
Evaluate the resources already in placeUnderutilized real estate is an opportunity to put existing resources to productive use. Reusing suitable warehouses, offices and industrial space can limit new construction, material use and land disturbance.
Good stewardship starts with what is already there. Each project must also plan for the additional power, heat and water requirements of its equipment.

Assess vacant buildings and unused areas within occupied properties, including the changes needed to make suitable space ready.
Compare electrical capacity with measured demand, competing uses and planned loads. A service rating alone does not establish availability.
Evaluate cooling, heat rejection and any water requirements for the chosen configuration and local conditions.
Include incremental energy and infrastructure costs in project planning. Agree who provides, pays for and maintains each resource.
PROCESS
The development processAutumn brings sites, power, capital and specialist partners together to develop AI infrastructure. We define each project’s requirements, costs and responsibilities. We coordinate the path from initial review through installation and the handover to operations.
Discuss the host’s space, access, objectives and intended users of the compute.
Review power, cooling, connectivity, access and the works a configuration would require.
Align customer needs, equipment, costs and separate delivery and operating responsibilities.
Agree site rights, approvals and the project company’s equipment ownership and funding for agreed works.
Specialist partners install and commission the equipment, then transition to the agreed hardware support and software operating teams.
ECONOMICS
The commercial modelCapital partners can fund a project through Autumn at the TopCo level or directly into the project SPV. Host sites and clients participate through site and service agreements.
| Component | How it works |
|---|---|
| Metered usage | Input tokens: information submitted.Output tokens: responses generated. |
| Customer charges | Input usage × input rate+ output usage × output rate |
| Project receipts | Payments received for compute supplied. |
| Project costs | Host compensation, energy, operations, financing and reserves. |
| Available cash | Receipts less project obligations and funding needs. |
