The global consulting firm forecasts exponential growth in the data center market, with up to 10 GW in new projects by 2025.
The international real estate consulting firm JLL has announced the appointment of Craig Adamoli as the new Senior Director of Data Centre Transactions for its EMEA (Europe, Middle East, and Africa) division. Based in London and reporting directly to Tom Glover, Head of Data Centre Transactions for the company, Adamoli joins with the mission of driving growth in strategic accounts within the hyperscale and colocation segments.
With a professional background of 27 years in the data center and corporate real estate sectors, Adamoli has held leadership roles in client management and project direction at both operators and international consultancy firms. His most recent position was at Newmark, where he held various transactional roles for more than a decade, and he previously worked at CBRE in the Occupier Services area. He also managed operations at the Global Switch campus in London and led transaction management for EMEA at multinational Nokia.
“The timing to join this team couldn’t be better,” said Adamoli. “The sector is expanding rapidly, and JLL has demonstrated a clear vision for growth and excellence in this field.” Tom Glover emphasized that the new hire “will bring key experience in a highly competitive environment that demands deep market knowledge and execution capability.”
A Booming Market
JLL has identified strong momentum in the data center industry, which, according to its latest studies, will experience accelerated growth in the coming years. The company forecasts that by 2025, projects equivalent to 10 gigawatts (GW) of new global capacity will be initiated, while another 7 GW will reach the delivery phase. Overall, the market could grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 15% until 2027, with the possibility of reaching 20% in the most optimistic scenarios.
This growth is directly linked to the rise of cloud computing, artificial intelligence, 5G, and industrial digitalization. In this context, having experts like Adamoli, who combine strategic vision with operational experience, is essential to meet the challenges of scalability and sustainability in the sector.
