MISSION CRITICAL FACILITIES

Looking to value your data center, colocation facility, or carrier hotel? Looking to engage an elite advisory team of mission critical facility specialists whose valuation experience stands unrivalled in global markets? Look no further.

Our Mission Critical Facilities Practice Group professionals operate as an elite and collaborative unit. We understand the complexity of these assets and the nuanced interplay of variables required for an effective comparison of space. For example, data center rental rates – which far exceed the rates of most real estate – can vary widely based on: building infrastructure; location; tenant demand; available connectivity within the building; and, most importantly, power availability and cost.

Corporations, institutional investors, and lenders alike turn to our professionals as their trusted advisors for critical debt and equity investment decisions regarding their mission critical assets and properties. Whether it is a single asset appraisal, portfolio valuation, or valuation for financial reporting, our team has the track record and specialized expertise to meet your organization’s needs.

SPECIALIZING IN DATA CENTERS

Can you afford downtime?

Data centers are extremely expensive to construct. In order to operate and maintain these facilities, specialized skills are required to achieve the necessary reliability and uptime for the equipment and network infrastructure.

Unplanned events, such as an outage or systems failure, will disrupt operations, compromise your company’s reputation, and risk the loss of business. In choosing a firm to value a mission critical facility, or advise you in its regard, you need not assume additional risk.

This sensitive work calls for specialization and the Mission Critical Facilities Practice Group is the most experienced in the industry. In the last five years, our team has been engaged in more than 200 appraisal and consulting assignments in markets throughout the United States, Canada, and Europe.

Theses assignments constitute more than 32 million square feet of rentable space and nearly 13 million square feet of technical/raised floor space, and have involved the following property types:

• Carrier-neutral hotels

• Colocation facilities

• Powered shell data centers

• Telecommunications facilities

• Wholesale data centers (fully conditioned)

This body of ongoing experience with mission critical facilities – unrivaled in the industry –affords our team unique insights into the data center market.
