Data Centre Insights – June 2026
As demand for digital infrastructure accelerates, infrastructure-ready land is commanding a clear premium. In power-constrained markets, sites with immediate access to utilities can significantly shorten delivery timelines and reduce execution risk – turning land into a strategic, high-value asset.
Yet viable sites remain scarce. Data centre development is defined by stringent requirements, from high-capacity power and fibre connectivity to water supply and zoning approvals. Among these, power has emerged as the primary constraint, with grid expansion timelines directly limiting how quickly new capacity can come online.
At the same time, land now accounts for a growing share of development costs, underscoring its rising strategic importance. Identifying the right site requires early engagement with utilities and authorities, alongside rigorous technical due diligence to ensure feasibility, timelines, and long-term performance.
Read this month’s edition of Data Centre Insights to explore how power, infrastructure, and site readiness are redefining land value in the data centre market.
