Quality Infratech Intelligence (QII)

Chad Williams, founder and longtime CEO of QTS, has launched Quality Infratech Intelligence (QII), an independent firm planning to develop gigawatt-scale campuses for data centers, advanced manufacturing, and other energy-intensive industries. QII is backed by Quality Growth Cos., Williams' family office. Williams departed Blackstone-owned QTS in spring 2025 after leading the company for nearly 20 years, including its 2013 NYSE IPO and 2021 sale to Blackstone in a $10B take-private deal. QTS was North America's largest data center landlord at the time of his exit. GCs and infrastructure vendors should track QII for large-scale greenfield development opportunities.
