Epstein said one of the key points to remember is that due diligence is critical before buying or developing any properties. “As a lawyer, you have to be cognizant of much more than just real estate issues. Much more than title and survey,” he said. “A data center is a really fancy warehouse in a way. However, it’s driven by technology.”

Equally important, Epstein pointed out, is an understanding of the key technologies. “What makes [the data center] truly unique,” he noted, “is it really marries real estate with technology.”
