“Finding a land project that works for a data centre is the golden goose”
Cameron Bell, EMEA Data Centre Real Estate Advisoryr, Savills
Savills has teams experienced in these environments, having executed work adjacent to or above live hyperscaler operations. The planning is meticulous, but it’ s absolutely possible with the right expertise. Commissioning itself has become more collaborative. Historically, contractors handed over the keys at practical completion and walked away. Now they often stay involved as operators bring in racks and begin setup. This is especially true for liquid cooling systems, which require careful coordination between building services and IT equipment.
