LOS ANGELES, CA, Oct. 9, 2026, Kaufman & Company has launched a dedicated site for BUILD 2030, the national development initiative it announced earlier this month, bringing housing and AI infrastructure together under one coordinated investment and development strategy.
The new site, live at build2030.co, outlines the initiative’s approach to what the company calls infrastructure convergence, the idea that housing and AI infrastructure increasingly compete for and depend on the same underlying resources: land, power, transportation access, entitlement expertise, construction capacity and capital.
“Everyone is talking about the AI infrastructure boom, but infrastructure cannot only be about machines,” said Daniel Kaufman, Founder and Principal of Kaufman & Company. “If we’re going to build infrastructure for AI, we should be equally serious about building infrastructure for people.”
BUILD 2030 coordinates projects and investment across Kaufman & Company’s platform of ten operating companies, spanning residential development, build-to-rent, workforce and affordable housing, custom housing, commercial and hospitality development, AI infrastructure, real estate advisory and venture capital. The strategy builds on more than 25 years of development experience, representing more than $2 billion in project value and more than 10,000 housing units developed.
The initiative also commits to a community-first approach to future AI infrastructure siting. Rather than treating data centers as isolated industrial projects, Kaufman & Company intends to pair infrastructure investment with workforce housing, community improvements and local employment wherever it builds.
“We don’t want to be the developer that arrives in a community, consumes power and leaves behind a box,” Kaufman said. “The better model is to ask what else our investment can unlock for the people who already live there.”
