CRE Daily quoted Member Jeffrey Moerdler in an article about how investors are increasingly seeking new builds rather than acquisitions of older data centers as AI-driven demand continues. Some industry leaders suggest that this trend may be overlooking the opportunities offered by existing assets.

Jeffrey notes that smaller assets are more easily upgradable and face fewer regulatory hurdles than greenfield projects, making them a strategic option for mid-sized investors. “These deals can offer faster revenue and fewer entitlement battles,” he says.
