The New Data Center Playbook

This article was produced by Ashurst Perkins Coie, a member of IPFA

In the data center race, the winner is no longer simply the bidder with the deepest pockets or the fastest construction program. Data centers have moved from the real estate and technology sectors into the critical infrastructure arena: strategic assets at the intersection of geopolitics, regulation, and economic policy – where control of compute increasingly shapes AI capability, and therefore economic competitiveness, and gives a strategic security and national defense advantage. For investors, developers, and operators, the race is now about delivering capacity at speed without being slowed by planning, power, sovereignty, supply chain, or FDI or other regulatory risk.
