Data Centers & Communications Real Estate

Not Your Ordinary Real Estate Transaction

Whether you are interested in the development, leasing, financing, or sale of a data center or colocation facility, it is no ordinary real estate transaction. These facilities have exacting requirements that can make siting their operations and negotiating associated real estate and information technology transactions difficult. Mintz’s team has a 25-year track record of advocating for clients in the real estate communications industry. We've been active in this sector since the industry's birth.
