Data center development is booming, but developers are increasingly finding that power availability, not capital, is the primary constraint. With some projects facing multiyear grid interconnection timelines, financing strategies must align with these extended timelines. Market Street Capital, a capital markets and financial advisory firm with over 20 years of experience, is stepping in to help developers finance data centers around power and lease timelines.
The firm works with established middle-market companies with enterprise values of $10 million to $1 billion on capital formation, and its platform includes a real estate practice that covers industrial assets and development sites. This positions Market Street Capital to address the unique needs of data center projects, which often require significant upfront investment and long-term planning.
Industry forecasts indicate substantial potential growth, though actual spending and capacity may differ from estimates. Amazon, Alphabet, Meta and Microsoft collectively plan to spend roughly $725 billion on capital expenditures in 2026, up 77% from the prior year. One industry forecast estimates that global data center capacity could nearly double to 200 gigawatts by 2030, underscoring the immense demand for both capital and power.
Market Street Capital’s approach is to line up financing with each layer of need in the data center growth space. By understanding the intricacies of power procurement, grid interconnection, and lease structures, the firm can structure financing solutions that match the long lead times and capital intensity of these projects. This is crucial as developers seek to secure funding that aligns with the timing of power availability and lease commitments.
For investors, this development matters because it highlights a shift in the data center financing landscape. As power constraints become more acute, the ability to finance projects effectively around these timelines will be a competitive advantage. Market Street Capital’s expertise in capital raising, M&A, and advisory could make it a go-to partner for developers navigating these challenges.
