Data Center Demand Set to Grow 10% on Average Every Year Until 2030

---

In 2024, the digital landscape is expanding faster than ever, and the role of data centers has become pivotal to business operations across industries. Although office spaces have evolved in recent years, when most people envision an office, they still imagine a typical layout of desks, conference rooms, and lounge areas where employees can collaborate and work. This holds true in many locations, including the 23 major suburban markets where Workspace Property Trust operates. Yet, as the demand for cloud computing, AI, and real-time data processing grows, data centers are increasingly recognized as the backbone of modern digital infrastructure.

What is a Data Center?

A data center is a highly specialized facility designed to host and manage large volumes of data. Equipped with precise HVAC systems to maintain controlled temperatures, data centers ensure that servers operate smoothly, minimizing latency and avoiding costly downtime. These facilities combine several key components, including the physical space, industrial equipment (like HVAC and electrical systems), IT hardware, and the software that powers it all.

To bring this infrastructure to life and keep it running smoothly, data centers rely on a diverse workforce, including IT professionals, engineers, maintenance staff, and operational managers. A 2023 PwC report highlighted that U.S.-based data centers employed over 469,000 people – a number that is expected to grow as technology advances and businesses increasingly depend on digital infrastructure. Further projecting the rise of data centers, McKinsey reported that data center demand is set to grow 10% on average every year until 2030.

Discover the Suburban Atlanta Advantage with Workspace Property Trust

---

In a rapidly growing city like Atlanta, where the population has surpassed the half-million mark and the metropolitan area extends across more than 50 surrounding towns and cities, suburban workspaces are becoming an essential part of the workforce equation. As more people move outward in search of affordable living, safer neighborhoods, and better schooling, these factors become even more essential in meeting the needs of Atlanta’s expanding workforce.

Additionally, the professional landscape has undergone a significant transformation in recent years, leading to a broader understanding that there is no one-size-fits-all solution for the modern workplace. If change is the only constant, then flexibility has become the cornerstone of today’s office environment requirements. Now more than ever, it's crucial for employers to provide workspaces that adapt to the unique needs of their teams.

At Workspace Property Trust, with over 20 years of experience in commercial real estate, we understand that tenants and employees need and deserve three essential elements to thrive in today’s work environment: convenience, flexibility, and strong landlord-partner support. When these pillars come together, they create an inviting workspace where teams feel supported, motivated, and primed for success each day.

Convenience

One of the primary advantages of suburban office is the opportunity for employees to work closer to home, reducing lengthy commutes and allowing more time for family and personal priorities. In a city like Atlanta, known for its heavy traffic, this convenience is especially valuable.

Our portfolio features 1.4 million square feet of premier suburban office space across greater Atlanta, spanning six strategically located buildings within highly sought-after submarkets, including Central Perimeter and Cumberland/Galleria. Not only are our properties centrally located with unmatched highway access making it a quick ride to and from the office, but each is also thoughtfully positioned within vibrant “20-minute neighborhoods”.

We know the most effective workplaces foster interaction, exploration, and balance, helping tenants create a thriving and adaptable work experience. Having lifestyle amenities including shopping, fitness centers, medical facilities, and daycares within a convenient 5-minute drive from the office supports a well-rounded experience and the employees' return to the office.

Every business is unique, and at Workspace Property Trust, we understand the importance of having flexible office solutions. We recognize that office space is a significant investment. That’s why our team works with our tenants to design spaces, and leasing agreements, that are resilient to future challenges and adaptable to the fast-evolving needs of today’s workforce. Whether you need a plug-and-play office space for immediate occupancy or prefer a more custom-built experience that reflects your company’s brand, we’ve got you covered. Our Atlanta properties offer everything from turnkey spaces to white-box options that can be tailored to meet your company’s specific needs. In a world where adaptability is key, Workspace allows you to create a workspace that aligns with your vision while staying within budget, and keeping your employees needs front and center.
