$0 from your balance sheet.
ARO installs, owns, insures, and operates a Micro Edge Data Hub inside your property. The hub serves AI inference, IoT, autonomous-systems compute, and other GPU-intensive edge workloads. You provide the room, the power, and the water. We handle the equipment, the tenants, the insurance, and the 24/7 monitoring. You earn 25–30% of GPU revenue every month for ten years.
You already own the building. We can put a tenant in your closet that pays you for ten years.
About 100 square feet of conditioned back-of-house space, a power tap, a water connection, and the kind of building you already operate every day. ARO does the rest. The hub is silent, vibrationless, invisible to your guests. You get a check.
That back room stays empty
Existing back-of-house space sits at zero contribution to NOI. Capex on infrastructure projects keeps coming. Tenant escalators alone fight inflation.
- $0 of new revenue from underutilized space
- No new tenant relationships, no new operating risk
- No upside — but also no story to your owner / board / LPs
That back room earns you a check
10-year revenue share at 25–30% of GPU revenue. Equipment owned and insured by ARO. Tenants are ours. Your facilities team coordinates an install once.
- $15–20K+ in Year 1, growing as utilization fills
- $0 capex, $0 equipment cost, $0 insurance from you
- A new line of revenue investors and lenders take seriously
What would your building actually earn?
Pick your property type, hub footprint, and revenue share. We'll project your 10-year revenue using the same Year-1 baseline range we underwrite ($15–20K mid for a standard hotel) and the way GPU utilization fills over time. Indicative only — every signed deal is sized to your specific site.
Tell us about your property.
You provide a room. We provide everything else. We split the revenue.
No upfront capital from your property. No equipment for you to buy, finance, manage, or insure. No tenants for your team to handle. Your facilities team coordinates an install once, and after that you receive a monthly check from ARO for ten years. That is the entire deal.
You provide
About 100 square feet of secure, climate-controlled space. Three-phase electrical access. A water connection. Coordinated site access for ARO operations. That is it. No equipment purchase, no operating staff, no insurance.
We provide
Hundreds of thousands of dollars in Dell servers, NVIDIA GPUs, and Motivair cooling. Engineering, install, and setup and testing. 24/7 operations and monitoring. Tenant pipeline and contracts. Insurance on every piece of hardware. Removal at end of term.
We split
You receive 25 to 30 percent of gross GPU revenue, paid monthly with an monthly statement you can audit. Year 1 rough range is $15K to $20K+ as the hub ramps. Year 2 onward grows substantially as usage fills and tenant terms grow over time.
Built to fit the building you already own.
A hub fits in modest, secure space the kind every commercial property has spare somewhere. The economics, the tenant fit, and the install logistics adjust to your property type. Pick yours below.
From first conversation to first check.
Most properties move from inquiry to a signed Letter of Intent in under three weeks. The hub installs on your operations calendar, not ours. Revenue starts the month tenant traffic does.
Site assessment
30-minute walk-through with your facilities lead. We measure available room, electrical service, water access, and fiber paths against the hub spec. No commitment from you.
Sized design & offer
Within 10 business days you receive a hub design, term sheet, and Letter of Intent. Revenue share, exclusivity, term, insurance, and removal terms are all spelled out.
Install & commission
ARO funds, ships, installs, and commissions the racks. Power and cooling work coordinates with your facilities team and licensed contractors. Tenants onboard as the hub clears burn-in.
10-year revenue share
Monthly statement. Monthly distribution. Audit-friendly accounting. ARO retains operational responsibility for the hardware end-to-end. Your team has no operational role.
Risk transfer is the whole point.
A property owner's first instinct on a deal like this is "what's the catch?" The catch is that we transfer every meaningful risk away from your property. Here is how that works in practice.
Equipment ownership and insurance
ARO owns every piece of hardware. ARO carries property insurance and cyber liability coverage on the hardware. If anything fails, ARO replaces it. Your property carries no asset on its books and no insurance exposure.
Zero operational liability
ARO operates the hub 24/7. ARO handles tenant relationships, billing, support, escalations. Your team is not on the sales hook, the support hook, or the operations hook. You receive a check, not a job.
No guest or resident impact
The hub sits in unused or under-utilized back-of-house space. Liquid cooling means quiet operation. No vibration, no heat impact on adjacent rooms, no sight lines from public areas. Guests and residents will not know it exists.
Clean exit at end of term
If you do not renew, ARO removes every piece of equipment and restores the room to original condition at our expense. The contract also includes defined early-termination conditions if circumstances change for your property.
What gets installed at every hub.
Three building blocks: enterprise compute, redundant fiber, and liquid-assisted cooling. The same Dell-validated reference architecture goes into every hub. The size adjusts to your property; the spec does not.
Dell PowerEdge AI servers
NVIDIA Blackwell-class GPUs in a Dell-validated reference rack. 5-year hardware warranty, Dell ProSupport, on-site break-fix at every hub. Industry-standard equipment, not custom.
100 GbE fiber backhaul
Redundant fiber paths from the hub to the building demarc. Internal NVLink fabric. Sub-10 millisecond tenant-to-hub latency. Standard data-center-grade networking.
Motivair liquid cooling
Rear-door heat exchangers as standard. Liquid immersion option for high-density configurations. Closed loop at 55 to 65 degrees Fahrenheit. Quieter than conventional chillers.
The first wave of property hubs is being placed now.
AI compute demand is outrunning supply. Hyperscalers cannot build fast enough. Properties with available power, water, and a fiber path are the missing piece. Each site comes with ten-year exclusivity, which means once a property in your area is in, the next nearby property is not. A 30-minute survey now reserves your spot in the queue at no commitment.
