CBRE strengthens its leasing services for data center usage
Total solutions offered for data center usage, from facility selection and surveying to contract mediation and operation
July 28, 2022
CBRE (headquarters: Marunouchi, Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo) is pleased to announce that it has strengthened its leasing services for data center usage.
Demand for data centers is on the rise, fuelled by a disparate range of factors in the business sector. The implementation of remote working practices has led to office space downsizing and consequent relocation of server rooms, while BCP bases are being established as a contingency against natural disasters and geopolitical risks. Amid all of this, the ongoing revolution in digitization has led to a dramatic increase in demand for cloud-based storage. In this environment, CBRE is committed to making full use of its domestic and international networks along with specialist knowledge of the sector to strengthen the business support services it provides to corporations and other data center users.
CBRE Data Centre Solutions offers leasing services that provide comprehensive and continuous support to solve any problems its clients may face. Major services offered are outlined below.
Hirokazu Ono, Senior Consultant, CBRE Data Centre Solutions: “As a result of such factors as advances in digitization and an increased awareness of the necessity for the use of renewable energy, the needs of general corporate users are constantly changing, meaning the provision of a one-size-fits-all approach is no longer tenable. With the government-driven push to diversify data center location throughout the regions and the need to take into account issues of economic security during location selection, data center operation and management is becoming increasingly complex. As a result, the advice our company is able to provide, based on its expertise and extensive experience, is becoming increasingly valuable. Strengthening our data center leasing services will allow us to provide proactive support that will add significant value to the efforts of our clients to realize their strategic business goals.”
CBRE operates PROPERTY SEARCH, one of Japan’s largest business-specific real estate portal sites, and which features a page dedicated to helping businesses find data centers that best suit their needs. As part of the strengthening of CBRE’s data center leasing services, a major overhaul of this page is planned for September of this year. This will make it possible to research details of racks and spaces available in each data center, facilitating rack relocation or expansion associated with office relocation.
From listings for properties (rental offices, rental warehouses, rental store space, real estate sales) to nationwide market information and a variety of real estate knowhow, it provides information for all players in the property market.
Properties listed: 17,377 (as of July 4th, 2022)
Total cumulative membership list: 2,394 (as of July 4th, 2022)
