The artificial intelligence-driven data center boom will hit New York eventually, but it will look very different from other major data center markets.
New York has yet to see the AI-driven explosion of data center development that has emerged in other top industry hubs, due in large part to the New York market’s high energy prices. AI will be a significant growth catalyst for data centers in New York, industry leaders said at Bisnow’s DICE: Northeast, July 18 at the Astor Ballroom in Manhattan, but that growth is likely to manifest differently than in any other primary market.
Rather than massive cloud and AI campuses that account for the bulk of the industry’s recent growth, they say New York will see increased demand for colocation facilities and data centers specializing in access to fiber networks that connect the market to AI infrastructure largely being built elsewhere.
“This market is doing really well for a lot of reasons that have nothing to do with power,” said Bob DeSantis, CEO of colocation provider 365 Data Centers. “New York just has so much volume. It’s expensive, but there’s already such a desire to have proximity that you add a little AI to that demand, and it overcomes any issues on the power side.”
The New York data center market, which includes New Jersey and Connecticut, is the seventh-largest data center hub in the U.S. As of the beginning of the year, the region had more than 700 megawatts of total data center inventory, the majority of it in New Jersey, and around 100 megawatts under construction, according to JLL. New York data centers have seen robust demand growth over the past two years, led by the financial services sector, with a growing share of leasing from major cloud providers.
While the fundamentals of the area’s AI landscape are strong, New York hasn’t had the kind of unprecedented inventory growth and development pipeline seen in other primary markets.
In Northern Virginia, Atlanta and Hillsboro, Oregon, data center inventory grew by 107%, 118% and 334%, respectively, between 2020 and the end of 2023, according to CBRE. It’s a record pace of growth that was first driven by surging demand for cloud services but has accelerated further as tech firms — led by Amazon, Microsoft, Google and Meta — engage in an AI arms race that is expected to surpass $1T in total infrastructure spending. Yet in the same time period, data center inventory in the New York Tri-State area grew by just 29%, the slowest pace among primary markets.
The reason the AI data center bump has seemingly skipped New York comes down to the price of power, executives said at DICE: Northeast. Energy costs have always been a top siting consideration in a sector where facility size is measured in megawatts rather than square feet, but AI has dramatically increased the amount of power used by the largest data centers and has subsequently made power pricing paramount for hyperscale developers.
Companies like Amazon and Microsoft are building their largest AI data centers anywhere they can find the cheapest power. Markets attracting major hyperscale investment like Atlanta, Dallas and Chicago had average power rates last year of less than 7 cents per kilowatt hour, according to JLL. New York, by contrast, was more than twice as expensive, with an average rate of 16 cents. New Jersey, which has the cheapest power in the Tri-State market, is still relatively expensive at 11 cents per kilowatt hour.
“The large deployments of AI are largely in areas where power costs are down and power is more readily available from utilities,” said Phillip Koblence, co-founder and chief operating officer of colocation firm NYI. “But the New York market, this is where a lot of the data that is being manipulated by AI is created because this is where the eyeballs are and this is where the internet is most evolved.”
Indeed, New York and the broader Northeast region is the country’s densest population center and therefore has the largest volume of consumers watching Netflix, interacting with ChatGPT and generating real-time data through phones, Apple Watches and other smart devices. Perhaps more importantly, the disproportionate number of financial institutions, major corporations and other large organizations that are based in New York represent an enormous amount of data that is only going to increase — along with its performance requirements — with AI adoption.
Much of this growing flood of data will be processed in cheaper power markets, but first it has to get there. This means more demand for carrier hotels and connectivity-focused colocation facilities, many of which have proprietary private networks that allow faster data transfer speed, known as latency, from New York to other major data center hubs.
Connectivity has always been a big part of New York’s digital infrastructure ecosystem, experts say, but it is primed for significant growth along with AI adoption.
“The AI boom is going to inherently benefit our market, but the driver of market growth here is going to be entirely based on connectivity to enable AI,” Koblence said. “All this AI and digital infrastructure growth is enabled by data being created in your pockets and on your rings and your watches and being transported to these large AI farms in places where the power is cheaper.”
Not all AI deployments will be located outside the New York market. Industry leaders expect AI adoption will boost demand for colocation facilities in the Tri-state area beyond what is expected elsewhere.
This is largely due to the outsized presence of financial services firms in the New York data center ecosystem, along with health care organizations like hospital systems and pharmaceutical companies and major educational and research institutions, said 365’s DeSantis. While many companies utilize public cloud from companies like Amazon Web Services for their AI infrastructure, these sectors have huge amounts of proprietary or private data for which the public cloud presents a security or compliance risk, pushing them toward colocation providers.
“There’s a lot of proprietary applications that those type of industries run, and there’s a lot of personal information,” DeSantis said. “Those aren’t cloud-first strategy types of data sets. Those are colocation types of data sets.”
Many of these colocation AI deployments for New York-based enterprises are going to New Jersey due to the lower power cost and other pricing advantages, and DICE panelists indicated they expect this trend to accelerate.
Digital Realty, Equinix, CoreSite and Iron Mountain plan to add a combined 145 megawatts in New Jersey by 2027, according to JLL. Other providers are building facilities in New York outside the city, such as DataBank’s development in Rockland County.
This enterprise demand for colocation capacity exists in the more expensive New York market largely due to the financial services sector, said Jeffrey Moerdler, a longtime data center and telecom attorney and a member at Mintz.
Financial firms are executing latency-sensitive trades and other transactions where hundredths of a second make a difference. Achieving this kind of low latency performance requires having the company’s computing infrastructure as close as possible.
“So much of the financial services industry, the brokerage industry and trading are in New York, and much of that data can’t be pushed out of the region and sent to Iowa,” Moerdler said. “It has to stay here and be processed regionally because of the latency problem.”

In the complex world of network architecture, resilience and diversity are pivotal in ensuring robust, uninterrupted services. Each concept plays a critical role, and their greatest potential is unlocked when they work together.
Resilience refers to a network’s ability to maintain an acceptable level of service in the face of various faults and challenges. Strategies to enhance resilience include implementing redundancy, which involves the presence of duplicate elements within the network infrastructure. This redundancy ensures continued operation and reliability, even when one component fails.
Diversity in network design means incorporating a variety of routes, vendors, technologies, and access points to prevent single points of failure. It involves using distinct and physically separate paths, technologies, or providers for network connections. This strategy is crucial for mitigating risks that could lead to widespread network failures, enhancing the network’s reliability and resilience against failures, including natural disasters or intentional attacks.
How Resilience and Diversity Complement Each Other
The synergy between resilience and diversity is particularly effective. For example, a network that not only has multiple pathways to reroute traffic (resilience through redundancy) but also uses different technology providers for these pathways (diversity) is far more robust. Such a network is better equipped to remain operational under multiple types of failures. The combination of diversified resilience strategies—where the methods for achieving resilience are themselves diverse—ensures that networks can withstand complex, unpredictable challenges.
Businesses must evaluate their current network structures and identify areas for enhancement to integrate resilience and diversity effectively. Key steps include conducting a thorough risk assessment, developing a plan that incorporates diverse technologies and providers, and regularly testing network resilience to ensure all systems function as expected when disruptions occur.
Resilience and diversity are foundational to strategic network planning. By understanding and deploying both, businesses can create networks that are not only robust and reliable but also prepared to handle the evolving challenges of the digital landscape.
The Perfect Point of Presence for Your Network
At NJFX, we exemplify the principles of resilience and diversity, making our facility an ideal point of presence (PoP) for your network.

We’ve run operations, we’ve built systems, we’ve developed networks,” Andy explained. He underscored the importance of smaller cable systems, posing to the panel, “What role do they play today? What role might they play in the future?”
Monica Martinez Quero, CMO at Telxius, took the lead, articulating the significance of smaller cable systems. “These systems connect less populated areas with less demand, serving as vital links for growing markets,” Monica said. She highlighted the San Juan project, extending from Punta Cana in the Dominican Republic to Puerto Rico and onto the United States, as a pivotal development in bridging high-capacity gaps in the Caribbean.
Monica further described the Junior cable, a 390-kilometer submarine system connecting Rio de Janeiro to Santos, which plays a critical role in routing traffic from Argentina to Virginia Beach in the U.S. “These cables are a part of the bigger topology map in the industry and play a big role due to their strategic positions and capabilities,” she added.
Acknowledging Monica’s insights, Andy reflected on the broader implications. “People often think about small systems as being regional, connecting small populations. But they are a different part of the ecosystem, integral to our global infrastructure.”
Gil Santaliz, CEO of NJFX, brought to light the strategic importance of the Confluence Cable System, a pivotal infrastructure project enhancing connectivity along the East Coast of the United States. “The Confluence Cable is providing an alternate path connecting five key landing stations—Boca, Jacksonville, Myrtle Beach, Virginia Beach, and Wall, New Jersey,” Gil explained. He emphasized the system’s role in offering failover capabilities and addressing the aging infrastructure challenges traditionally handled by highways and railroads. “By avoiding the congested right-of-way issues, this system not only supports inter-country but also intra-country traffic, enhancing the technological landscape significantly,” he added.
Noah Drake, President & Managing Director at Telstra, then shifted the focus towards regional connectivity and its impact on underserved populations. “The regional systems play a critical role, especially in the South Pacific, where we bridge the digital divide through a mix of subsea, wireless, and satellite technologies,” Noah noted. Reflecting on Telstra’s acquisition of Digital South Pacific, he highlighted collaborative efforts with governments to make these projects viable, emphasizing the synergy between commercial interests and social responsibilities.
Kapil Kumar Jain, VP & Global Head Network at Tata Communications, expanded on the discussion by linking the functionality of small cable systems to broader network resilience. “On both the East and West Coasts of the U.S., these smaller systems provide crucial alternate connectivity,” Kapil pointed out. He detailed how, during simultaneous disruptions of major routes, smaller systems facilitate a mesh ecosystem that maintains network integrity. “These cables are integral to our industry’s future, potentially increasing to represent 30-40% of our ecosystem within the next five years as we aim to connect digitally divided regions,” he projected.
As the panel discussion revealed, small submarine cable systems are more than mere supplements to their larger counterparts; they are vital components that ensure robust, resilient, and inclusive global connectivity. This holistic approach not only addresses immediate logistical challenges but also paves the way for a more interconnected and equitable future.
Wilfried Dudink, Strategy & Development, Network Service Providers at Digital Realty, reflecting on the evolving landscape of connectivity hubs in the Mediterranean, emphasized the emergence of new key locations beyond the traditional hubs like Marseille. “Cities like Barcelona, Genoa, Rome, Crete, Athens, and Tel Aviv are becoming significant connectivity hubs, aided by both terrestrial and innovative subsea cable technologies,” he stated. This diversification is seen as a vital strategy for enhancing regional connectivity resilience.
Andy Bax then broadened the discussion to address the challenges facing the industry, including the shortages in cable ships and manufacturing capabilities. “We’re witnessing a surge in demand for both large-scale and small, regional interconnector cables that offer diversity,” Andy noted. He highlighted ongoing issues such as the shortage of cable ships and the slow pace of scaling up manufacturing post-COVID, which are compounded by the need for dual-purpose ships that can both install and repair cables.
Kapil contributed insights into the operational hurdles, “The balancing act between installing new cables and repairing existing ones creates a complex operational scenario. Moreover, there’s a push towards sustainability, demanding that end-to-end cable delivery aligns with eco-friendly practices.” He shed light on the aging fleet of cable ships, with many nearing the end of their service life, underscoring the need for investment in new, sustainable technologies for future developments.
The conversation then shifted towards the impact of geopolitics on the subsea cable industry, a topic further explored by Noah Drake and Gil Santaliz. Noah discussed the strategic delays and challenges posed by permitting processes and geopolitical tensions. “The industry is not just about managing physical resources but also navigating regulatory and political landscapes,” Noah explained.
Gil provided a deeper perspective on how geopolitical tensions are fostering innovation within the industry. “The demand for additional resilience has led to the development of Layer 1 SDN platforms, enabling dynamic switching between subsea cables, thus enhancing the monetization of these assets,” Gil detailed.
Wilfried added that geopolitical shifts are prompting the exploration of new routes, “The current geopolitical climate is pushing the industry to develop alternative routes, enhancing global connectivity diversity.” This includes potentially transformative routes from APAC directly to South Africa and across the Arctic.
Andy reflected on the broader implications of these challenges. “Addressing these issues isn’t just about overcoming technical obstacles but also involves enhancing cooperation between governments and private stakeholders to ensure the deployment of sustainable, resilient infrastructure.”
Adapting to the Evolving Demands of Subsea Cable Infrastructure
Kapil elaborated on the challenges faced by the industry due to recent cable damages and the complexities involved in repair processes. Highlighting the extended downtime, Kapil expressed concern over the industry’s responsiveness to unforeseen incidents, “It’s been two and a half months since the cable cuts, and without permits, we can’t even begin repairs. This situation forces us to rethink traditional routing and introduces substantial challenges but also opens opportunities for innovative solutions.”
The panel also discussed the broader implications of these delays, emphasizing the need for more robust infrastructure and faster response strategies to maintain global connectivity. Andy added perspective on the role of hyperscalers and traditional carriers in building redundancy into their networks. “Hyperscalers are pushing the boundaries, not just focusing on route diversity but also on path and system diversity, which is increasingly important as we aim to ensure resilience in our global networks,” Andy noted.
Wilfried touched upon the development of new connectivity hubs in the Mediterranean, expanding the geographic diversity and resilience of the network infrastructure. “The emergence of new hubs in locations like Barcelona and Tel Aviv represents a strategic evolution, offering alternative routes that enhance the overall robustness of our connectivity solutions,” Wilfried observed.
The conversation shifted to technological advancements that could mitigate some of these challenges. Kapil adding that the deployment of Layer 1 SDN might revolutionize how traffic is managed across these networks. “With SDN technology, we can automate the rerouting process, which currently relies heavily on manual intervention. This could significantly enhance our operational efficiency and reduce downtime during outages,” he proposed.
Andy directed the panel’s attention towards future developments in fiber technology and system capacity. “As we build larger cables with higher fiber counts, we need to consider the long-term implications of these developments on our networks and the global connectivity landscape. How do we manage the increased capacity, and what does it mean for the overall durability of our infrastructure?” Andy questioned.
The panelists discussed the potential for multicore fiber technologies to double the capacity of existing systems without adding more fiber pairs, a critical consideration as the industry seeks to expand capacity while managing the complexities of repair and maintenance.
The panelists delved deeper into the technical, operational, and geopolitical challenges facing the subsea cable industry, exploring strategies to navigate these complexities while fostering innovation and resilience in global connectivity.
The Future of Transatlantic and Global Subsea Networks
Kapil highlighted the ongoing and future challenges in the transatlantic routes, noting the proliferation of new, high-capacity cables. “As we look to the next three to four years, we may see multiple cables with 16 to 25 fiber pairs becoming available in the Transatlantic. However, integrating these cables to create a resilient network remains a puzzle, particularly in Europe,” Kapil reflected. He emphasized the need for innovative solutions to interconnect these diverse routes to ensure robust and redundant network architectures.
Andy responded to Kapil’s insights, focusing on the necessity for direct fiber restoration over mere capacity routing. “What Confluence is aiming to do on the East Coast of the U.S. needs to be mirrored along the entire coast of Europe to ensure seamless fiber restoration,” Andy added, underscoring the importance of comprehensive connectivity solutions that can adapt to unexpected disruptions.
Wilfried shared a specific example from Crete, where multiple cable landing stations are being connected to a central facility to facilitate switching between cables, enhancing network flexibility and resilience. “The project in Crete reflects a broader necessity for integrated infrastructure that can support the dynamic needs of the subsea community,” Wilfried noted.
The panel then opened the floor to questions from the audience, leading to a lively discussion about the investment challenges and educational gaps surrounding subsea cable systems. Andy tackled the overarching challenges facing the subsea community, particularly the need to elevate the industry’s profile to attract investment and governmental support.
Gil addressed the logistical and environmental challenges of deploying subsea cables, highlighting the delicate balance between development and local regulations. “The pushback from local communities and the high costs imposed by municipalities can significantly complicate development efforts,” Gil explained.
The session concluded with a consensus on the critical role of education and collaboration in overcoming the challenges faced by the subsea cable industry. The panelists underscored the importance of raising awareness about the strategic value of subsea cables and fostering partnerships to support sustainable and resilient infrastructure development.
