Total investment in data center infrastructure worldwide rose has grown rapidly during the pandemic, driven by the growth of hyperscale customers, such as Amazon, Facebook, Google, Microsoft and Alibaba, creating a larger need for real estate staffing agencies. As a result, we\u2019re seeing real estate developers, debt providers, private equity investors in real estate actively investing in data center projects, especially in the last 24months and the long-term growth trend is positive. As a real estate staffing agency, we anticipate seeing the appetite for data grow thanks to increasing digitization, wider adoption of the cloud, more use of 5G technology and increasing use of artificial intelligence and autonomous vehicles.<\/span><\/p>\n

All types of data centers (hyperscale, colocation, edge and carrier hotels) have the wind at their backs. The key is to be in the right location: where the end client wants to be that has access to fiber and power.<\/span><\/p>\n

According to Cushman & Wakefield\u2019s 2022 Data Center Global Market Comparison, Asia Pacific is set to become the world\u2019s largest data center region over the next decade, with an anticipated need for real estate staffing agencies to fill roles. Singapore, Hong Kong and Sydney are ranked among the top 10 data center markets in the world; and we\u2019re still seeing more greenfield\/brownfield developments in markets like Japan, Korea and the emerging economies of India, Philippines, Malaysia, Thailand etc.<\/span><\/p>\n

Due to the heterogeneous nature of the Asian markets, creating supply at scale continues to be challenging and represents an opportunity for growth and differentiation for data center operators able to execute consistently and deliver to global quality standards across markets. The investment momentum could be losing its steam as global financial conditions tighten which sees data centre players switch focus to development and onboarding customers.<\/span><\/p>\n

As a real estate staffing agency, we have seen data center investments drive growth and job opportunities. Job creation becomes apparent during the construction phase, the purchase and installation of various electrical components and the day-to-day operating expenses of the facility. Each DC facility creates high-value jobs in data security, network engineering, operations, project management and more. It is estimated that each hyperscale data center facility will generate around 800-1,000 jobs over 15 years, creating a demand for real estate staffing agencies to find talent.<\/span><\/p>\n
