Mortenson’s Maja Rosenquist and CBRE’s Gordon Dolven examine one of real estate’s most dynamic sectors. They discuss how AI’s growth has accelerated data center development, how site-selection strategies are evolving and the challenges posed by power constraints.

Key takeaways on data center trends:

· Data center site selection is increasingly dictated by access to scalable power, increasing development in markets with robust energy infrastructure.

· AI-driven demand is accelerating the need for hyperscale campuses, with some sites spanning thousands of acres and requiring gigawatt-level capacity.

· Lease structures are based on power usage rather than square footage, with rental rates rebounding over 50% since 2021 due to limited availability.

· Long-term capital is flowing into the sector, with infrastructure funds driving a shift in investment strategies.

· Labor and construction cost pressures are prompting innovations like prefabrication to meet the demands of billion-dollar builds.
