Strategic Sale and Leaseback Transactions for Flexibility and Alleviated Cost Pressures 

Many businesses today own data centers to support digital operations, yet many have found themselves with an excess of unused space and power beyond what they need for their own IT equipment. This available white space and critical power comes at a cost and operational burden to the enterprise, creating unnecessary cost burdens on their business. By selling data center infrastructure and leasing only the space required to support business operations, enterprises can restructure their costs, free up capital, alleviate cost pressures and create a more flexible solution to support their ongoing business requirements.  

 Landmark’s Digital Infrastructure team works alongside clients to structure the most advantageous sale and leaseback — full or partial — model for existing data centers, allowing for the quick and effective monetization of client-owned real estate. This enables clients to reduce the unnecessary burdens of unused space and power and associated operation expenses through the immediate access to capital that can be used for strategic reinvestment and reallocation.  

 This model empowers companies to gain access to capital resources that allow them to refocus resources on core business initiatives while still maintaining existing data center operations.
