It's unlikely that you open the news today without finding the latest coverage on artificial intelligence. REC too has found itself serving the real estate needs of AI startups like Sanas and Screens. In parallel, the commercial real estate industry has honed its focus on data center development, which, prior to the proliferation of AI, has traditionally occurred in more rural areas where large blocks of land are readily available. However, Apple's recent introduction of Apple Intelligence, has brought a new issue to the forefront: if billions of consumers will use AI in their Apple products like never before, the data centers will need to be physically closer to the end user than ever before because of a concept called inference. While most of the world's populations live in city centers, data centers do not and developers will need to bring data centers to the people in order for the AI to work. Will this be the new highest and best use for vacant office buildings in American downtowns? Contact REC to discuss how we can facilitate urban data center development to meet this expected need.
