Data center tenancy agreements - Routes to stabilization

The convergence of data sovereignty, security, power, cooling, connectivity, service agreements and AI-driven operational demands is transforming the traditional data center lease or co-location agreement into a hybrid instrument. Part real estate contract, part technology service agreement. This trend reflects the complexity of projects, number of stakeholders involved, and the pace of technological change.

Growing data center disputes risk

The construction phase remains the most common source of high-value disputes in data center projects, and disputes here can disrupt delivery schedules, undermine revenue projections and strain key commercial relationships well beyond the immediate cost of the underlying issue. As builds become more complex, this risk escalates further.

Financing data centre developments: Balancing risk and opportunity in a capital-intensive sector

The United Kingdom’s data centre sector is built on a striking paradox: demand for digital infrastructure seems limitless, but building it requires eye-watering amounts of capital. A hyperscale facility can cost more than £500 million, putting data centres among the most capital-intensive real estate assets in the world. In this high-stakes environment, financing is not just about securing capital. It’s about designing the right capital structure – balancing debt and equity in a way that reduces risk, satisfies lenders, equity partners and tenants, and still delivers long-term returns. In this third instalment of our Insight Series, we look at how sophisticated financing structures are used to balance risk and opportunity in the UK data centre market and share practical advice to help developers navigate complexity with confidence
