Celebration, FL, Feb. 05, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- La Rosa Holdings Corp. (NASDAQ: LRHC) ("La Rosa" or the "Company"), a real estate and PropTech enterprise, today announced that it has entered into a contract to purchase a strategically located parcel of land located in Osceola County, one of the fastest-growing areas of Central Florida. This acquisition, once consummated, will represent a major milestone in the Company's expansion strategy and support the development of a state-of-the-art Tier III AI data center designed to meet rising demand for high-performance computing and data processing infrastructure.
The planned facility will encompass up to 10,000 square feet and is expected to support an estimated IT load of ~1,500 kW, making it well-suited for enterprise, cloud, and AI-driven workloads. The proposed data center is intentionally sized to strike a balance between scale and flexibility-large enough to attract hyperscale-adjacent and enterprise tenants, while remaining agile enough to serve edge and regional market demands.
Designed to Tier III standards, the facility is intended to deliver high availability, redundancy, and operational reliability. As presently contemplated, the facility may support a wide range of industries, including healthcare, financial services, and technology, enabling secure, efficient, and scalable data management solutions in a rapidly evolving digital landscape.
The selected site is located within a high-growth corridor of Central Florida, offering proximity to major transportation routes, robust utility infrastructure, and access to a skilled workforce. With the region's accelerating economic development and increasing technology adoption, the project positions La Rosa Holdings Corp. at the forefront of regional data center growth.
Sustainability is a core component of the project. The data center will be designed to incorporate energy-efficient systems and environmentally responsible design practices aimed at optimizing power usage and reducing environmental impact.
Joe La Rosa, CEO of La Rosa, commented, "This project represents an important step in executing our data center growth strategy. We believe our strong balance sheet provides us with the flexibility to support the initial capital requirements of this development, while we continue to evaluate additional growth opportunities. While Central Florida is a key market for us today, we are pursuing expansion into other high-demand regions and expect to develop additional data centers outside of Florida, including markets such as Texas, where demand for AI and high-density computing infrastructure continues to accelerate."
The acquisition is expected to close on June 15, 2026 subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions.
There can be no assurances that the acquisition will be consummated.
