MINNEAPOLIS—Although most of the real estate sectors in this economically vibrant city have experienced a great deal of growth in the last several years, until recently the development of data centers has lagged behind other emerging markets. But according to a new report recently issued by JLL, developers have taken notice, and launched several projects that in their first phases will add about 75,000-square-feet of data center space. “Additionally, we expect to see at least one more provider investing in the construction of a new facility by the end of 2nd Qtr. 2014,” the report states.

“Some of the numbers are pretty telling,” Brett Severson, a senior associate with JLL’s data center practice group in Minneapolis, tells GlobeSt.com.
