Why Data Center REIT CoreSite is Sector Royalty

Image
If you’re a regular reader of DCK Investor Edge , you know that investors who own data center REIT shares have seen better rewards year-to-date compared to more traditional commercial real estate asset classes like office, retail, apartments, net-lease, and healthcare. Data centers sit squarely at the intersection of real estate and technology, providing space, power, and access to networks and cloud service providers that attract coveted enterprise customers . When it comes to the various REIT sub-sectors, data centers sit squarely at the top, while the broader real estate sector is treading water, down 0.6 percent. Data centers as a sub-sector are chalking up another year of outperformance, following similar gains in 2016.

I was really leaning to go with AvalonBay, but I decided at the last minute to include American Tower . It was a tough call, but after reading this ar...
