He has both consulted-on and appraised over 200 critical infrastructure assets, including telecom (carrier) hotels, multi-tenant colocation and hyperscale facilities, powered base buildings, mixed-use assets possessing a substantial mission critical component and land. Mr. Fudacz is intimately familiar with the impact that power and fiber availability, infrastructure resiliency, geographic location and economic incentives have on value for this specialized asset type.

By tracking major colocation providers’ availability, development pipelines and pricing in both primary and secondary markets, Mr. Fudacz maintains a line-of-sight to the opaque market fundamentals that drive the U.S. data center market on both a local and national level.
