CBRE recently published its 1H’24 North America Data Center Trends Report, which adds another perspective on just how hot this vertical is. We are calling this out as many names in TRG’s coverage (or adjacent to it) are poised to continue benefitting from the data center build-out. Key trends from the report – overwhelmingly positive: Supply is up 10% YOY in 1H’24 and despite higher supply, vacancy rate fell 50 bps to 2.8%, a record low. In secondary markets vacancy rate fell a hair below 10% from ~13% last year. Under-construction activity in primary markets hit a record high of 3,871.8 MW, up 69% YOY, with nearly 80% being preleased. Pricing continues to trend higher. One interesting trend is that the increased demand for high-power computing is creating a significant price gap between new facilities and legacy facilities. Many existing data centers do not have the infrastructure to handle increasingly demanding workloads. This, in our view, further bolsters the need for new construction activity. While demand for more data, computing and storage is almost certain to continue, the supply of data centers that can manage this will meaningfully increase. This means that newbuild is the answer, and there is not an abundance of land and power supply to meet this easily. Key components of data centers are also on long lead times – e.g., transformers, switches, and generators. For certain key equipment, orders must be placed years in advance. Competitively, between both domestic companies and international tech companies, occupiers of data centers are forced to stay ahead of the curve. As such, many occupiers are virtually “forced to prelease space between two and four years ahead of completion to meet their future data center requirements.” We liken this competitive pressure to all companies in the tech value chain (cloud providers, chip and semiconductor producers, cloud software companies, digital commerce businesses) being in a multi-year effort that is like the final 100 meters of a 400-meter race. This is positive for many of our covered companies who help to build and maintain operations of the data center market. Those companies include: equipment rental and leasing providers, manufacturers and distributors of ceiling tiles and wallboard, aggregate and cement producers, HVAC manufacturers and distributors, non-res electrical and mechanical contractors, fire and safety supply and servicing, etc. #trgbuildingideas

good insight on the local data center market.
Growth and sales guy focused on data centers, mission critical and commercial spaces.
Well, I guess we saw this coming! Phoenix leads U.S. data center markets in average asking rates 🚀 Did you know? In 2023, North American data center pricing hit near record levels, with Phoenix emerging as the leader in average asking rates among U.S. markets, ranging between $170 - $200 for 250-500 kW/month. Here's Why Phoenix is the New Data Center Hotspot: Unprecedented Demand: With leasing activity thriving and renewal rates jumping by 20% from H2 2022 to H2 2023, Phoenix is in the midst of a data center boom. The vacancy rate? A near-historic low of 3.9%. Construction Craze: Over 88% of the 163.5 MW currently under construction is already preleased. This demand is driving the quest for more developable land in Metro Phoenix. Power to the People: Phoenix stands out for its reasonably low power costs, especially when compared to neighboring markets. A major boost came from a joint venture that led to the construction of a massive solar-panel-based power plant with the Salt River Project. National Perspective: The national average asking price saw an 18.6% year-over-year increase. With a 26% growth in supply across primary U.S. markets, and a record low 3.7% vacancy rate, the demand for data centers is skyrocketing. The surge is powered by the digital economy's expansion and the broad adoption of artificial intelligence. Why Does This Matter? Phoenix's data center market is not just growing; it's thriving, setting records, and driving innovation. This is a testament to the city's strategic advantage, including low power costs, strategic partnerships, and a robust infrastructure that's attracting the biggest names in tech. Here's the write-up from AZBigMedia: https://lnkd.in/gHu7ft9Z

For appraisers, these trends highlight the need to carefully consider power availability, community sentiment, and potential regulatory changes when valuing data center properties or land suitable for data center development. Data center development is booming across the US, driven by increasing digital connectivity and AI advancements. Key takeaways: 1. Demand is surging: North American data center inventory grew 24.4% YoY in Q1 2024. 2. Location trends shifting: Developers are moving beyond traditional tech hubs to suburban and rural areas due to power constraints in core markets. 3. Scale increasing: Facilities now often require 200-400 MW, with some exceeding 600 MW. 4. Economic impact mixed: While data centers bring significant tax revenue and construction jobs, they typically create fewer permanent positions compared to other commercial developments. 5. Infrastructure challenges: Power and water requirements are straining local utilities, raising questions about grid capacity and who bears infrastructure upgrade costs. 6. Growing opposition: Communities are increasingly resisting data center projects due to environmental concerns and resource demands. 7. Sustainability focus: The industry is exploring more eco-friendly cooling methods and power sources to address environmental criticisms. #CommercialRealEstate #DataCenters #CREAppraisal https://lnkd.in/ggwMziMA

The global data center market, which was valued at $200 billion in 2021, is expected to zoom to $450 billion by 2027, with more than 25 million sf added during that period, according to Ken Research’s latest estimates. In the U.S. alone, the data center market is projected to expand from $20.21 billion in 2022 to $28.56 billion in 2028 (a compound annual growth rate of 6%), when it will have 25.95 million sf of leasable space and 3,404 MW of power capacity, according to Arizton estimates. JLL, in its Global Data Center Outlook, notes that the fastest-growing segments of data center space continue to be hyperscalers and edge data centers that allow for diversification and improved latency. “The rise of artificial intelligence will both bolster demand, with increased data usage, and improve computing efficiency,” states the report.
