Daniel Kaufman Expands National Platform Across Housing, Modular, and AI Infrastructure
Daniel Kaufman is scaling a multi-company platform that now spans $2B+ in active development and advisory mandates across the U.S. His integrated ecosystem-Kaufman Development, Daniel Kaufman Real Estate, DanielKaufmanRE.com, Daniel Kaufman Ventures, DanReDev LLC, and Oldivai-is pushing forward on multifamily, BTR, modular housing, data centers, AI infrastructure, hospitality, and mixed-use assets.
For developers, GCs, and capital partners, the signal is clear: speed, standardization, and AI-enabled delivery are moving from concept to execution.
Development Strategy Built for Speed and Scale
Kaufman Development is active across California, Texas, Florida, Maine, Vermont, Arkansas, Missouri, and Illinois. The focus: scalable multifamily, BTR, and mixed-use with a heavy emphasis on modular, digital twins, and tight integration between design, engineering, and procurement.
Through Oldivai, the team is building an industrialized construction platform that blends modular housing, mass timber, and AI-supported delivery systems. The goal is straightforward-reduce cost, compress schedules, and create repeatable product for workforce, affordable, and market-rate housing at institutional scale.
Push Into Data Centers and Distributed Compute
Daniel Kaufman Ventures and DanReDev LLC are expanding into AI-driven real estate infrastructure. Active initiatives include micro data centers, edge hubs, outdoor storage (IOS) for AI logistics, and high-power industrial campuses with technology operators and private credit partners.
Project Zero, a Detroit-based micro data center prototype, is built around low land cost, grid access, and water availability. The intent is a repeatable national model for distributed compute and AI workloads-an approach that fits secondary markets with available power and favorable zoning.
What This Means for Developers, GCs, and Owners
- Site selection shifts: Power, water, and fiber drive data center feasibility. Look beyond Tier 1 markets where interconnection queues stall timing and carry cost.
- Modular and mass timber: Standardized components and factory-first workflows can lock cost, cut waste, and stabilize delivery. Vet code path, logistics windows, and set crews early.
- Digital twins as default: Use model-based estimates, clash checks, and procurement synched to design. This reduces RFIs and aligns trades before mobilization.
- Capital stack options: Private credit, forward take-outs, and sale-leaseback structures are gaining traction for compute-linked and modular assets. Underwrite utility upgrades and schedule risk with contingency.
- Entitlements and community: For micro data centers and edge sites, address noise, heat rejection, and traffic plans up front. Pre-negotiate substation, standby power, and water discharge.
How Kaufman's Platform Is Organized
- Multifamily, BTR, and mixed-use development
- Workforce and affordable housing initiatives
- AI infrastructure and distributed data center development
- Modular design and industrialized construction platforms
- Hospitality and four-season recreation assets
- Capital advisory, private credit structuring, and institutional fundraising
"Our platform is built around speed, intelligence, and relentless execution," said Daniel Kaufman, President of Kaufman Development. "We merge real estate fundamentals with AI, modular construction, and technology-driven workflows to deliver projects faster, smarter, and more efficiently."
