Data centers are becoming a critical asset class, blending characteristics of both #RealEstate and #Infrastructure. Unlike traditional infrastructure (such as bridges or roads), #datacenters can be repurposed, making them a dynamic and evolving investment. At the same time, their role as essential digital infrastructure is becoming more evident, with location requirements growing increasingly complex. 💡Some key takeaways: - The amount of data generated worldwide is set to increase from 175 zettabytes today to 600 zettabytes by 2030—and over 2,140 zettabytes by 2035. - Madrid’s data center capacity has surged from 100 MW/h two years ago to 250 MW/h today. Projections suggest it could hit 500 MW/h soon and potentially 800 MW/h or even 1 GW in the long run, representing an astonishing 40% compound annual growth rate. - One of the biggest challenges in data center #financing is the development phase. Gaining access to the power grid alone can take up to five years, which automatically excludes funds operating on short investment cycles. - Once a data center is built and #tenants are secured, financing conditions improve significantly, allowing for higher #leverage, with loan-to-value (LTV) ratios of 40–50%. At this stage, rental income dramatically increases the asset’s #value. I invite you to read these insights based on the Iberian REIT & Listed Conference, organised by Iberian Property and EPRA (European Public Real Estate Association), which took place last week in #Madrid. 📖➡️ https://lnkd.in/dm4NWAM9 Congratulations for the amazing panel discussion!

Institutional #investors have significantly increased their allocation to real estate in recent decades, accompanied by a move from traditional property types like offices to data centers, storage, and healthcare facilities. Real estate accounts for approximately 40% of global #CO2 #emissions, of which 70% comes from operational energy use. This raises an important question: How can the sector reconcile the drive toward net-zero ambitions with the rising prominence of energy-intensive property types like data centers in investment portfolios? This article examines how this shift in portfolio composition will impact real estate investors' ambitions to reduce CO2, while highlighting gaps in the current literature. #realestate #datacenter #CO2emissions #netzero #engagement #sustainability #investment #decarbonisation

With 13 separate national frameworks, the fragmentation of #REIT regimes in the EU creates barriers to cross-border investments, restricting the flow of capital toward key assets and limiting their availability to the real economy. EPRA has long been an advocate for greater harmonisation and took the opportunity to reiterate this message in the European Commission’s recent call for evidence for the Single Market Strategy 2025, a key document aimed at driving action in the upcoming mandate to revitalise the EU Single Market. EPRA encourages the inclusion of an action point in the upcoming Single Market Strategy, in which the Commission calls for harmonising the fragmented EU REIT regimes and encourages Member States to promote mutual recognition of the different REIT frameworks across the EU. This will facilitate further cross-border investments, strengthen capital markets for long-term investments, and enhance the EU’s competitiveness and strategic autonomy by ensuring the availability of key real assets to the EU economy.

The European Central Bank just announced a 25-basis-point interest rate cut, its fifth one since the central bank began easing monetary policy in June last year. This is very timely and brings renewed optimism to the listed real estate (LRE) sector, a key beneficiary of lower marginal borrowing costs. Under this new dynamic of interest rates, the cost of debt becomes a key variable to analyze. Read more about this and EPRA's related research in our latest blog entry by David Moreno, CFA.
