Driven by the end-user's desire to have data infrastructure in close proximity to corporate offices, will future investment and development shift to urban settings, and what's required? The conference will feature a special New York and urban data center panel moderated by Jeff Moerdler, Member, Mintz, Levin, Cohn, Ferris, Glovsky and Popeo, P.C. Panelists include: Patrick K. Shelly, Assistant Vice President, Rudin Management Company, Inc. and Thomas Traugott, Regional Leasing Director, Commercial Real Estate – Newport, The LeFrak Organization. The panelists will address key themes, including: Repositioning of existing assets in urban locations (office, retail, industrial and other property types) to data centers and requirements related to the building's IT/fiber infrastructure, ceiling height requirements, security, and cooling system(s). Should current office and retail owners lease space to data center firms as a way to boost NOI in the current economic recovery period? What are the advantages of the urban data center setting? How are landlords working with IT firms and technology service providers (fiber, power, cooling) in the repositioning of an asset? Have owners capitalized on the growth of data centers and the new digital society?
