The Data Center Revolution, with Greg Riegle and Chris Lloyd

Everyone is talking about Data Centers. Recently, host <a href="https://www.mcguirewoods.com/people/c/phillip-n-coover/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Phil Coover</a> mentioned that he was doing a podcast about data centers. “Do you think that this data center thing is a big bubble?” someone asked. “No,” he replied. “That implies that the demand will somehow go away, causing it to pop. This demand isn’t going away.” In order to break down what is really happening in Data Centers, Phil invited two <a href="https://www.mcguirewoods.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">McGuireWoods</a>’ colleagues with decades of experience in data center real estate, incentives, and government affairs: <a href="https://www.mcguirewoods.com/people/r/gregory-a-riegle/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Greg Riegle</a>, co-leader of the Real Estate Transactions Group and head of its data center practice, and<a href="https://www.mcguirewoods.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> </a><a href="https://mwcllc.com/people/chris-lloyd-economic-development-consultant/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Chris Lloyd</a>, senior vice president and director of Infrastructure and Economic Development at McGuireWoods Consulting. “I don't know that there's been a more – pick your adjective – ‘interesting,’ ‘dynamic,’ or ‘challenging’ time with respect to the data center industry,” Greg says. Tune in for the panelists’ insights about the data center epicenter in Virginia, factors that a community must take into account when inviting a data center (like water consumption), and communities that are navigating the opportunity, like DeKalb, Illinois. <h2>Connect and Learn More</h2>☑️ <a href="https://www.mcguirewoods.com/people/r/gregory-a-riegle/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Greg Riegle</a> | <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/gregory-riegle-6606201b" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">LinkedIn</a>☑️ <a href="https://mwcllc.com/people/chris-lloyd-economic-development-consultant/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Chris Lloyd</a> | <a href="https://linkedin.com/in/chris-lloyd-4740168" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">LinkedIn</a>☑️ <a href="https://www.mcguirewoods.com/people/c/phillip-n-coover/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Phil Coover</a> | <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/phillip-coover-809105b/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">LinkedIn</a>☑️ <a href="https://www.mcguirewoods.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">McGuireWoods</a> | <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/company/mcguirewoods/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">LinkedIn</a> | <a href="https://www.facebook.com/mcguirewoods" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Facebook</a> | <a href="https://www.instagram.com/mcguirewoods_llp/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Instagram</a> | <a href="https://twitter.com/McGuireWoodsLLP" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">X</a>☑️ Subscribe <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/real-estate-for-breakfast/id1191604057" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Apple Podcasts</a> | <a href="https://open.spotify.com/show/4HWcp7lDIBQ3GvIlFJqaTS" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Spotify </a>This podcast was recorded and is being made available by McGuireWoods for informational purposes only.

Guiding Office Tenants in Today’s Challenging Market, with Melissa Copley

Drawing on extensive experience navigating major shifts in the commercial real estate market, <a href="https://insights.mcguirewoods.net/email_handler.aspx?sid=blankform&redirect=https%3a%2f%2fwww.nmrk.com%2fpeople%2fmelissa-copley&checksum=96BCC72C" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Melissa Copley</a> reflects on her practice with McGuireWoods partner and host <a href="https://insights.mcguirewoods.net/email_handler.aspx?sid=blankform&redirect=https%3a%2f%2fwww.mcguirewoods.com%2fpeople%2fc%2fphillip-n-coover%2f&checksum=4604F59B" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Phil Coover</a>. Now vice chairman at <a href="https://www.nmrk.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Newmark</a> in Chicago, where she represents large tenants of office space in major metropolitan areas, Melissa highlights the impact of today’s economic and geopolitical conditions. As tenants consider issues of economic uncertainty and occupancy, they tend to put off decision-making. “I always like to have my clients start early, especially now. It is a shrinking pool of good alternatives,” she says. Tune in for other insights, including why AI can’t replace strategic brain power, what happens when premier space goes vacant, and what strong tenants are looking for in amenities. Spoiler: It’s beyond just a fitness center. <h2>Connect and Learn More</h2>☑️ <a href="https://www.nmrk.com/people/melissa-copley" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Melissa Copley</a> | <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/melissa-copley" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">LinkedIn</a>☑️ <a href="https://www.nmrk.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Newmark</a> | <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/company/nmrk-cre" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">LinkedIn</a> | <a href="https://www.instagram.com/newmark/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Instagram</a> | <a href="https://www.facebook.com/nmrk.cre" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Facebook</a> | <a href="https://x.com/Newmark" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">X</a>☑️ <a href="https://www.mcguirewoods.com/people/c/phillip-n-coover/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Phil Coover</a> | <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/phillip-coover-809105b/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">LinkedIn</a>☑️ <a href="https://www.mcguirewoods.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">McGuireWoods</a> | <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/company/mcguirewoods/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">LinkedIn</a> | <a href="https://www.facebook.com/mcguirewoods" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Facebook</a> | <a href="https://www.instagram.com/mcguirewoods_llp/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Instagram</a> | <a href="https://twitter.com/McGuireWoodsLLP" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">X</a>☑️ Subscribe <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/ph/podcast/the-corner-series/id1597490984" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Apple Podcasts</a> | <a href="https://open.spotify.com/show/62wDhXTw09oQ6dGDfbJFiI" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Spotify</a> | <a href="https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/4a022fe7-eb43-446a-b130-a33e5e23ef0b/the-corner-series" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Amazon Music</a>This podcast was recorded and is being made available by McGuireWoods for informational purposes only.
