AI (C)REset: Data Centers & Its Impact on CRE
(Closed to Media)
This event is part of our CREFC DC Symposium Webinar Series, bringing together leading experts to examine how rapidly evolving federal policies, a dynamic regulatory environment, and shifting political priorities will impact multifamily and commercial real estate finance.
Join industry leaders for an in-depth exploration of data center investment strategies, examining the critical financing, location, and operational considerations shaping this rapidly evolving sector. Discussion topics include:
- How do you underwrite the equity in a data center? What are the evolving needs of hyperscalers, cloud providers and enterprise users?
- Financing the construction and permanent (private placement, loans, ABS or CMBS). Are all tenants equal? Risks from single tenant and lease structures?
- Future pipeline – too much? Are we bubbling over? What is the TAM? Are the primary markets “full”? What are the potential “emerging” locations?
- History and future of Louden County
- Property requirements – power, water, size – where can you find scarce resources? What are the bottlenecks? Are other asset types being crowded out? How to think about the future operational costs.
- AI adoption and frameworks within commercial real estate underwriting, surveillance, valuation, or investor analytics.
