Data Center Development Investment Thesis
Data centre development is becoming a real estate, energy, and supply chain business at the same time. Returns favour operators that own all three.
Why now
Hyperscale demand has moved beyond the limits of generic colocation. The operators that win secure power years in advance, deliver substations on schedule, and build supply chain relationships that competitors cannot replicate.
Where I focus
- Sites with secured power and interconnection in scarce markets
- Operators with executed track record on schedule
- Long-duration tenant contracts with credit-worthy counterparties
- European angles where regulation creates structural advantage
