Harrison Street

As uncertainty persists around financing cost, inflation, and economic policy, private capital is playing a growing role in the infrastructure sector. Investment opportunities are expanding across power and renewables, social infrastructure, district energy and digital infrastructure, as markets strive to meet and exceed prior sustainability and development goals. This growth is driven by factors such as decarbonization initiatives, battery storage for grid stability, and rising demand for energy-efficient facilities in universities, hospitals and other institutions seeing modernization and expansion. Meanwhile the surge in data centers and power has intensified competition for dark fiber and carrier hotel access, where location and established networks are critical. As a result, these sectors present compelling investment opportunities driven by demand trends and structural resilience making them more stable compared to traditional industries such as transportation and conventional energy. #HarrisonStreet #AlternativeInvestments #AlternativeRealEstaste #2025Outlook #Infrastructure
