Fascinated by the “why” behind the growth of emerging industries, Lloyd started with numbers, research, and analytics. He spent years in East Coast markets as an analyst, identifying commonalities where development activity was emerging. Moving to the opposite coast, Lloyd began curating content on commercial and biotech tenant trends in the PNW.

Lloyd’s persistence in dissecting how people shape environments continues to drive his interest in the CRE sector. As our new Market Development Manager, Lloyd finds solutions and opportunities to deliver environments that foster better connections, collaboration, research, and innovation for commercial and biotech organizations.

Summary

  1. How is the increase in density for facilities impacting infrastructure needs? How might this impact design?

  2. How are facility operations evolving as data center footprints in high-density facilities shrink? How will infrastructure respond to support?

  3. As mobile applications and streaming services increase in usage, will facility layouts evolve in response? If so how?

  4. How will the investment in more infrastructure impact data center facility expansion? How are operators investing in infrastructure planning for the future?
