Demand for space, while down slightly from its peak just prior to the recession, remains relatively strong. The sector continues to gain momentum from the pace of technological change, which drives demand for facilities that can accommodate the continual call for more power. While some new facilities are slated to come online in the coming months, new development has slowed significantly. In general, new supply is relatively limited nationally. In this environment, facilities that can offer substantial [wattage] will likely be deemed attractive.
