Digital infrastructure presents a growing opportunity to partner with some the world’s leading technology companies. Explore the evolution of the space and Blue Owl’s competitive advantages as a leader in net lease real estate.
We believe leading technology companies are likely eager to meet consumers' need for expanded data and compute power but may be encountering a datacenter market with limited supply. They are increasingly showing preference to develop hyperscale data centers which may offer scalability and are engineered for large-scale workloads with streamlined network connectivity and minimized latency.1
The hyperscale model can offer companies control over a datacenter when compared to the co-location model. While colocation comes with a lower financial outlay and the potential for better mobility due to short duration leases, the hyperscale model aims to improve efficiency by way of tenant-specific customization driving immense tenant demand towards this optimized structure.
Given the scale and significance of hyperscale projects, the opportunity to structure net leased contracts may present a compelling yield premium over a similar duration bond of the same company, with the addition of attractive asset collateral.
Data centers present an opportunity for a natural extension of Blue Owl Real Estate’s investment philosophy, leveraging 15+ years of experience in net leases. In response to the exponential demand growth in the sector, Blue Owl is bringing our innovative structuring and transactional expertise to help meet the needs of a hyperscale driven build-to-suit opportunity. Blue Owl Real Estate is not taking on any risks related to construction, power delivery, fiber connectivity, or operating and capital expenditures via our triple net lease structure.
Our platform is well positioned to provide capital to take advantage of the demand surge in data centers, structured in a way that is consistent with the investment characteristics we have historically pursued:
