Combining decades of experience with the industry’s top market intelligence and data/analytics platforms to provide our clients with relevant strategic advice and insights, helping them to make informed data centre decisions

The data centre industry is rapidly expanding and evolving, and to stay ahead, our clients need the data-backed advice to make the most informed decisions. Across each of the primary and emerging markets, we monitor supply, demand, and pricing trends, and leverage our strong relationships with both the operator and investor communities.

What are our capabilities?

Consulting

  • Provide robust qualitative and financial analysis based on specialist market intelligence and data across primary and emerging markets (e.g., demand, supply, pricing, competitors and more), giving clients the confidence to make the right strategic decisions

Technical due diligence

  • Provide technical support for early due diligence on potential sites, brownfield options and existing facilities, with the aim of understanding constraints and maximising value; verify and evaluate risks, including environmental concerns, supporting infrastructure, uptime history, long-term viability of power, viability for future expansion, and more.

Valuation

  • Support the underwriting process pre- and post-transaction, using best-in-class analytics to apply the most sophisticated valuation tool and deliver standardised reports for clear review and presentation

Sale and leaseback advice

  • Find owner-occupied assets, structure the transaction, get financing, and negotiate agreements to lease the spaces back to the sellers

What makes us special?

Subject matter expertise

  • Our services are jointly  delivered by our subject matter experts (e.g. Valuation Advisory and Capital Markets) and our data centre specialists (e.g. Leasing)

Market insights

  • We provide local and regional insights into forward-looking operator and occupier trends that help clients make correct commercial decisions

Competitive advantage

  • We enable our clients to see what their competitors are doing, and in turn help them adapt their innovations and strategies to meet their own needs

Technology advantages

Why can we be trusted?

  • Our data centre specialists are located in all major data centre markets (Australia, China, Hong Kong, India, Japan, Singapore)
  • We have deep history partnering with global multinationals to shape their critical environment, ranging from trading floors to colocation
  • A significant real estate acquisition on Bangna-Trat Road, Bangkok, Thailand, for a major digital infrastructure company. The transaction aligns with a growing interest from data centre operators to invest in Thailand, encouraged by factors such as the nation’s readiness to serve as a digital hub, increasing demand for data-related services, and supportive government policies
