This week on Deconstruct, hosts Hannah Kramer and Lilah Burke sit down with Colliers data center expert Raul Saavedra to unpack how the sector went from a relatively niche corner of commercial real estate to a magnet for billions of dollars in institutional capital. Saavedra explains why data center campuses have ballooned from 30 or 50 megawatts to projects demanding 500 megawatts or more, why securing power has become one of developers’ biggest challenges and how deals that once involved millions of dollars can now require billions.
