The assumption is familiar.
Data centers require massive power, 20 megawatts or more, and need to be built off-site.
But that model doesn’t reflect how many organizations actually operate today.
Corporate tenants are increasingly looking for infrastructure they can control directly.
Security concerns and data ownership are pushing many away from full reliance on cloud environments and toward on-site or near-site solutions.
And the power requirements are often far lower than expected.
Five megawatts can support substantial enterprise needs. Even one megawatt can create meaningful capacity.
For Class A office buildings, this creates a different kind of opportunity.
Underutilized space can be repositioned.
Owners gain a new way to generate value from their asset.
Tenants gain secure, controlled infrastructure that supports their operations.
The question isn’t just how big a data center can be.
It’s whether the scale aligns with how the building and its tenants actually operate.
