Data centers have become one of the fastest-growing and most strategically important asset classes in commercial real estate, driving unprecedented investment in land and power infrastructure. Bringing these projects online, however, requires navigating a complex web of site selection considerations, utility constraints, permitting requirements, and community engagement.Join SIOR's Industrial Member Group for an in-depth look at how data centers are conceived, planned, approved, and delivered—from identifying the right market and securing power to managing stakeholder concerns and ultimately breaking ground.This webinar will provide attendees with a 360-degree view of the data center ecosystem through the perspectives of leaders in economic development, utility infrastructure, and hyperscale development.Joining the discussion are: • Buddy Rizer, Executive Director of Loudoun County Economic Development, and the key figure behind the growth of Data Center Alley in Northern Virginia (the world’s largest concentration of data centers) • Stan Blackwell, Director of Dominion Energy’s Data Center Practice, where he works with developers and hyperscale users to navigate the power requirements driving today’s unprecedented wave of data center development. • Emily Smith, Economic Development Manager at AWS, who leads strategic initiatives supporting AWS's data center growth, helping bring hyperscale infrastructure projects from planning through execution.
