Data centres have become one of the most dynamic and strategically significant infrastructure asset classes globally. These facilities are integral to the modern economy and delivering a technology-enabled future, with an unprecedented growth in digital services, AI deployment, cloud adoption and high-performance computing driving record demand for data centre services.  

However, significant challenges persist around planning, powering and funding. Grid connectivity, power availability and land scarcity are all proving to be major constraints. Sophisticated developers and investors are adopting differentiated strategies to overcome these challenges, giving rise to new co-located generation opportunities, an emerging divergence between edge and hyperscale, and a range of capital structures designed to drive scale.

Data centres sit in a unique intersection of infrastructure, real estate, energy, and capital markets – sectors where we have market-leading practices globally.

Explore our latest thinking on how to manage risk and unlock value across the data centre lifecycle.
