AI's explosive growth is propelling the data center sector into a new era of demand, driven by surging capacity needs and record-low vacancy rates. High barriers to entry and the critical role of data centers in the digital infrastructure make the sector a compelling and resilient investment opportunity amidst the evolving commercial real estate landscape.
The data center sector is on the cusp of a significant growth phase, underpinned by the surging demand for artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities. On a global scale, the sector's fundamentals are robust, with double-digit rental growth while vacancy rates near record lows. Historically, demand was primarily fueled by the rise of streaming services and the transition of enterprise servers to the cloud. This segment alone is expected to continue growing at a steady 13% pace annually. However, the recent explosion in AI technology has introduced a new, rapidly accelerating demand layer. AI-driven demand is anticipated to grow at a staggering 70% per year, with hyperscalers investing heavily in this space. By 2027, it is projected that generative AI will consume three-quarters of the global data center capacity.
The sector's attractiveness is further amplified by its high barriers to entry. The immense electricity requirements for new facilities pose a significant challenge, as existing power grids lack the capacity to meet escalating demands. Securing new power sources has become increasingly difficult, with waiting periods extending up to two years in key markets.
While 2024 will likely be looked back on as a year of transition for broader commercial real estate, encouraging dynamics position the data center sector as a crucial and resilient component of the digital economy, and is poised for continued expansion.

Disclosure
Investing involves risk, including possible loss of Principal. Past Performance does not guarantee future return. All financial investments involve an element of risk. Therefore, the value of the investment and the income from it will vary and the initial investment amount cannot be guaranteed. Potential investors should be aware of the risks inherent to owning and investing in real estate, including value fluctuations, capital market pricing volatility, liquidity risks, leverage, credit risk, occupancy risk and legal risk. All these risks can lead to a decline in the value of the real estate, a decline in the income produced by the real estate and declines in the value or total loss in value of securities derived from investments in real estate.
The information presented has been derived from sources believed to be accurate; however, we do not independently verify or guarantee its accuracy or validity. Any reference to a specific investment or security does not constitute a recommendation to buy, sell, or hold such investment or security, and does not take account of any investor’s investment objectives or financial situation and should not be construed as specific investment advice, a recommendation, or be relied on in any way as a guarantee, promise, forecast or prediction of future events regarding an investment or the markets in general. The opinions and predictions expressed are subject to change without prior notice.
