Data Center Appraisal & Valuation Services

Specialized Valuation for Digital Infrastructure Assets

At Voltz Commercial Realty Advisors, we deliver specialized appraisal and consulting services for data centers across the United States and select international markets. Our valuation approach integrates traditional commercial real estate methodology with the technical, engineering, and operational metrics that define the digital-infrastructure sector.
As cloud computing, AI workloads, and hyperscale development accelerate globally, accurate data center valuation requires precise analysis of power capacity, redundancy, cooling efficiency, and tenant demand—core competencies that Voltz Commercial Realty Advisors brings to every engagement.

National & Global Data Center Trends
Demand for modern compute infrastructure is increasing at record pace. Key forces shaping today’s market include:

• Rapid expansion of AI and high-density compute environments
• Continuous migration to cloud platforms
• Rising enterprise and retail colocation demand
• Global rollout of hyperscale campuses (AWS, Microsoft, Google, Meta)
• Emerging sovereign cloud and data-governance requirements

With these trends, power availability, PUE performance, and critical IT load (MW) now drive valuation more than building size alone.

Critical IT Load: Understanding Size & Capacity
Modern data centers are classified primarily by critical IT load, not square footage:

Edge / Micro Data Centers
0.1– 1 MW
Supports low-latency applications (IoT, telemedicine, autonomous vehicles).

Enterprise / Retail Colocation
1 – 10 MW
Common among regional businesses, finance, and government agencies.

Wholesale Colocation / Mid-Market
10 – 40 MW
Designed for multi-tenant deployments and large enterprise users.

Hyperscale & AI Campuses
40 – 300+ MW
Multi-building complexes supporting cloud and AI infrastructure.
Valuations prepared by Voltz Commercial Realty Advisors incorporate MW scalability, redundancy tiers, MEP infrastructure, and per-kW economics—key determinants of modern data-center value.

Underserved & Emerging Data Center Markets
Several regions remain underbuilt relative to global and domestic demand.
United States Growth Areas

• Salt Lake City / Utah County
• Columbus & Midwest semiconductor corridor
• Nevada (renewable-energy alignment)
• Southern California exurbs, including the Antelope Valley

These markets offer power availability, fiber expansion, and competitive cost structures.
International Demand Centers

• Southeast Asia – Malaysia, Indonesia, Vietnam
• Latin America – Chile, Colombia, Panama, Brazil
• Africa – Kenya, Nigeria, South Africa
• Japan – high demand, limited land

Each region’s valuation potential hinges on energy reliability, grid stability, latency routes, and political/regulatory frameworks.
