SUMMARY:NICAR Commercial Real Estate Broker Forum (CRE)
DESCRIPTION:\n\nJoin us for “Are You Up to Date on Data Centers?” presented by Simon Enwia, CEO/Designated Managing Broker for SENW Commercial\n\n\n\n\nThe commercial real estate landscape is evolving fast—and data centers are leading the charge. Join NICAR’s CRE Webinar, hosted by Theresa Mueller, featuring Simon Enwia for an essential conversation: “Are You Up to Date on Data Centers?”\nAs the fastest-growing asset class in CRE, data centers are reshaping how we think about site selection, infrastructure, and investment strategy. With AI driving unprecedented demand for power, availability of energy—not land—is now the critical factor. At the same time, grid constraints, interconnection delays, and shifting regulatory policies are creating real headwinds for new development and cooling investor momentum.\nThis session will unpack what these changes mean for the market, including the economic trade-offs—like expanded tax bases paired with limited long-term employment—and why brokers who understand the fundamentals are better positioned to guide their clients as opportunities arise.\nStay informed, stay competitive, and get up to speed on one of the most important trends in CRE today.\nBio:\nSimon Enwia, CCIM CIPS GRI SRS ABR is CEO & Designated Managing Broker of SENW, where he leads a full-service, AI-enabled, multi-state brokerage.
