Robert Kroon is Global Lead, Powered Land at Arcadis. He works with investors, developers, utilities, and hyperscalers to unlock and scale data center opportunities by aligning land, power, permitting, and capital.
With over 35 years of experience originating and developing major infrastructure opportunities, Robert specializes in creating investment-ready platforms for data centers, energy hubs, and other power-intensive developments. He previously led Arcadis' Global Pursuit Excellence function and chaired the firm's Global Tender Board.
As power and grid delivery become a defining bottleneck in Europe, access to powered land is increasingly the primary driver of asset value. This session will explore how the supply/demand imbalance is influencing lending terms, collateral strength and potential returns; and how operators' strategies for securing and sequencing powered land positions influence lender confidence and financing terms.
Understand why access to grid-ready land and power security has become the critical factor determining whether projects progress quickly or face multi-year delays. Examine how debt capital is deployed across the full development lifecycle, from land acquisition and powered land financing through to development funding and financing stabilised assets, and which lender profiles are best matched to each stage.
