Host a Micro Edge Data Hub.
Earn revenue for 10 years.

For AI workloads that need to run next to their data, ARO places a small, secure GPU deployment inside host properties. ARO finances, owns, insures, and operates the equipment. Your property contributes space, power, and water. You earn 25 to 30 percent of net GPU revenue, paid monthly, for ten years. $0 from your balance sheet.

Equipment owned & insured by ARO No tenants or vendors for you to manage Removable, restorable at end of term Hosting agreement transfers with the property
The offer

A clean split. You provide the room. We handle everything else.

A hub fits in about 100 to 200 square feet of back-of-house space, the kind every commercial property has spare somewhere. Guests and residents never see it, hear it, or know it is there.

The property provides
  • About 100 to 200 sq ft of secure, conditioned indoor space
  • Three-phase electrical service (sub-metered at ARO's expense and reimbursed monthly)
  • Water access for a closed-loop liquid cooling system
  • A fiber path to the building demarc
  • A 10-year exclusive hosting agreement
ARO handles
  • Equipment financing, ownership, installation, and operation
  • Property and cyber liability insurance, with your property named as additional insured
  • 24/7 NOC monitoring and all hardware response
  • Every tenant relationship and every vendor relationship
  • Removal and restoration of the room at end of term, at ARO's expense

Net GPU revenue is gross collected GPU revenue less the agreed costs of operating the hub. The exact percentage is set in the Letter of Intent based on site profile. Year 1 for a typical mid-size property is an indicative $15K to $20K+, growing as the hub fills; every figure is sized to your specific site after the survey and is not a guarantee.

Who hosts

Properties with power, water, and a spare room in a metro.

Hotels and resorts, apartment and condo communities, senior and student housing, hospitals and medical office buildings, manufactured housing communities, and Class A commercial. Metro-adjacent sites qualify; rural sites generally do not, and we will tell you straight.

Hotels & resorts

Back-of-house space, three-phase service, and fiber are usually already there. The hub does not touch guest areas or brand standards, and ARO supports franchise IT review during the Letter of Intent phase.

Apartments, condos & HOAs

Ancillary revenue with no resident impact, similar to telecom or vending income. Where board approval or bylaws apply, ARO supports the approval process and provides the contract, insurance certificate, and drawings a board needs.

Healthcare & commercial

Hospitals, clinics, medical office buildings, and office properties with secure infrastructure space. Healthcare sites can be both host and, later, tenant for their own AI workloads.

How it works

From first call to first revenue check.

Four phases. No commitment until the Letter of Intent, and the Letter of Intent is non-binding until you decide.

01 / Survey

30-minute walk-through

We walk the property with your facilities lead. Available room, electrical service, water access, and fiber paths are measured against the hub spec. Free, no NDA, no commitment.

02 / Design

Sized economics and Letter of Intent

Within 10 business days you receive a hub design, term sheet, and Letter of Intent in writing: revenue share, term, insurance, exclusivity, and removal terms all spelled out.

03 / Build

Install and commission

ARO funds, ships, and installs the racks. Power and cooling work is coordinated with your facilities team and licensed contractors, during low-impact windows you choose.

04 / Operate

Monthly statements

ARO operates the hub 24/7 and fills it with tenants. You receive a monthly statement showing tenant revenue, operating costs, and your share, with an audit-friendly trail for your CPA.

Your protections

Structured so the property is protected whatever happens.

Boards and owners ask the same three questions: what if something breaks, what if we sell, and what if ARO fails. The hosting agreement answers all three before you sign.

Ask for the sample agreement
  • ARO owns and insures the equipmentProperty and cyber liability coverage carried by ARO, with a Certificate of Insurance naming your property as additional insured. Hardware events are ARO's responsibility, never yours.
  • No operating cost to the propertyElectricity is sub-metered and reimbursed monthly. The cooling loop is closed, leak-detected, and shuts down before water can leave the system.
  • Tenant risk is ARO'sYou never interact with tenants or vendors. If a tenant does not pay, that is ARO's problem, not the property's.
  • Sale of the propertyThe agreement transfers to the new owner. If a buyer declines to assume it, the property has the right to terminate.
  • End of term, or if ARO failsARO removes all equipment and restores the room at its expense. The ownership structure, insurance, and indemnification mean the property is never left holding hardware it does not own.
Questions boards ask first

The short FAQ.

Anything not answered here, ask it on the survey form. A real person at ARO answers within two business days.

How much does this cost my property?
Nothing upfront and nothing ongoing. ARO finances, owns, and insures the equipment. The property contributes space, electrical access, and water. ARO sub-meters the hub's electricity and reimburses the property monthly, so the property is cash-positive from the first statement.
What does it look like inside my building?
A locked room of about 100 to 200 square feet, usually in basement or back-of-house space, holding one or two server racks with liquid cooling. No signage, no changes to common areas, no air-handling equipment added. Liquid cooling is far quieter than air-cooled servers, and heat leaves through the closed loop rather than into adjacent rooms. Guests and residents will not know it exists.
Will the install disrupt operations?
No. Installation uses unused or under-used space and is scheduled around your operations calendar. Power and water work is coordinated by ARO with your facilities team and licensed contractors during low-impact windows you choose.
How is my property protected from risk?
ARO owns the equipment, carries property and cyber liability coverage on it, names your property as additional insured, and assumes operational responsibility 24/7. Tenant data sits inside the hub on isolated, encrypted, single-tenant servers. Your property carries no operational liability and no hardware exposure.
What if my HOA bylaws, board, or franchise standards need to approve it?
In most cases the hub falls inside the back-of-house infrastructure work that bylaws and franchise standards do not address. Where approval does apply, ARO supports the process during the Letter of Intent phase and provides the sample agreement, Certificate of Insurance, and drawings a board or franchise IT review will ask for.
Can I see the contract before signing?
Yes. The Letter of Intent is non-binding and outlines every material term. The definitive agreement is reviewed by your legal counsel before any equipment is ordered. We expect that, and we do not ask for commitment before you understand the deal.
What if I sell the property, or want out at the end of the term?
The hosting agreement transfers with the property, and ARO works with you and the buyer to make it part of the property's value in a sale. If a buyer declines to assume it, the property may terminate. At the end of the term either party can renew or end the agreement; if it ends, ARO removes all equipment and restores the room at its expense.
Who are the tenants, and will I deal with them?
Tenants are AI companies running production workloads. ARO is the contractual counterparty for every tenant and every vendor. Your team is not on the sales hook, the support hook, or the operations hook. You receive a statement and a payment, not a job. Tenant names are confidential under our agreements with them.
Why should I trust ARO with a 10-year commitment?
The contract protects you regardless of ARO's trajectory: ARO owns and insures the equipment, removes it at end of term, and indemnifies the property. Our hardware, connectivity, and facilities partners provide their own warranties and operating backbones. And the leadership team has long, verifiable histories in property-resident infrastructure and hospitality technology. Meet the team.
