Willkie advised Comstock Holding Companies, Inc. (Nasdaq: CHCI), a leading asset manager, developer, and operator of mixed-use, transit-oriented properties and large-scale infrastructure developments in the Washington, D.C. region, on the formation of a joint venture with Jericho Energy Ventures, Inc. (TSXV: JEV; OTCID: JROOF; FRA: JLM) to develop large-scale data center campuses in Oklahoma.
Comstock recently announced its joint venture with Jericho to facilitate and support the development of data centers in Oklahoma's Pawnee and Noble counties. The strategic partnership leverages Comstock's development expertise and Jericho's energy assets, creating a scalable AI infrastructure platform to deliver powered land for AI hyperscalers.
To date, development options covering upwards of 4,000 acres have already been secured that integrate Jericho's subsurface energy infrastructure with surface land interests, while planning has commenced for what would become one of the largest data center campuses in Oklahoma.
The Willkie team was led by partners David Drewes and Melissa Fischetti and included partners John Bain, Wesley Smith, Guy Inbar, Eric Pogue and Dale Smith and associate Jennifer Weisser.
