ON THE HORIZON
Data centers have become a hot topic
in the real estate world. Similar to
how towns used to view warehouses,
data centers are now viewed as a
great property tax ratable with little
municipal services demand or traffic
impact. However, public perception
of this use continues to evolve,
particularly amid concerns about
the noise and the water and energy
demands needed to support data
centers. Day Pitney is at the front
line of dealing with the transactional,
land use, environmental and energy
issues associated with data centers.
Our RELU attorneys work closely with
attorneys in Day Pitney’s nationally
recognized Energy Practice to guide
clients through these various issues.
With many municipalities opposing
warehouse development and the
expanding use of artificial intelligence
driving demand for data centers,
securing approvals and determining
optimal locations for these facilities will
present critical and complex challenges
for the real estate practice in the
coming years.
