00:00.140 --> 00:03.420
This week’s number: 1.4%.

00:03.480 --> 00:07.060
That’s how many data centers sit empty, nationwide.

00:07.120 --> 00:10.580
You’ve heard the other story: a bubble, ghost buildings,

00:10.640 --> 00:13.320
towns left holding the bag. So check it.

00:13.380 --> 00:15.040
The number comes from CBRE,

00:15.100 --> 00:18.700
the biggest commercial real estate firm in the country.

00:18.760 --> 00:23.380
Record low vacancy. Most of these buildings are leased before the roof goes on.

00:23.440 --> 00:26.940
Now, booms end. Nobody knows the future.

00:27.000 --> 00:30.080
Which is why the contract matters more than the forecast.

00:30.140 --> 00:32.200
Their risk, in writing, or no deal.

00:32.260 --> 00:35.090
Don’t take our word for it. Check.

00:35.200 --> 00:38.330
Build it right, or don’t build it.
