Business focus and management

Risks

  • Concentration in data center assets leased to hyperscale tenants may create tenant concentration exposure - this impacts the real estate and technology infrastructure sectors.
  • Reliance on newly-constructed, income-generating properties means development and lease-up risks may affect performance - this impacts construction, real estate and capital markets participants.
  • The external management structure, with BXDC managed by an affiliate of Blackstone Inc. (BX), creates dependence on the manager’s decisions and alignment of interests - this affects investors in BXDC and related financial markets.
