Questions fréquentes
What are thai data center infrastructure leases?
These are specialized, long-term triple-net (NNN) leasing agreements where global cloud providers lease land from Thai landowners to build digital infrastructure. Under this structure, the tenant is entirely responsible for all property taxes, insurance, maintenance, and operational costs.
Why do data centers offer higher yields than traditional Thai commercial real estate?
Traditional commercial assets like offices yield under 4% due to hybrid work trends. In contrast, data center infrastructure leases offer yields exceeding 12%, backed by 15 to 30-year commitments, inflation-pegged rent adjustments, and substantial tenant-paid capital investments.
What utility specifications do hyperscale data center operators demand from a land plot?
Hyperscalers require plots within 3 kilometers of a 50MW substation, access to dual-carrier physically redundant fiber paths, strict Purple Zone (industrial) zoning, and site elevations at least 1.5 meters above 100-year flood plains.
How do BOI digital sector incentives benefit local commercial landowners?
Under BOI Category 7.9.1.1, approved data center operators receive up to 8 years of corporate tax exemptions and import duty waivers. These dramatic operating cost reductions allow tenants to agree to premium rental rates during lease negotiations.
How can landowners mitigate default risks with international technology tenants?
Landowners must draft strict lease clauses requiring unconditional corporate parent guarantees from the tenant's US or European headquarters, secure 12 months of rent in escrow, and establish step-in rights to take over facility operations in case of insolvency.
