I’m often asked whether building or buying is the right path, and the answer for many firms, both now and over the last 10 years, has been to either purchase and improve or convert.

There’s more, like the opportunity for natural top-down cooling that improves PUE. The following are several recent conversion projects:

– Digital Realty Trust, 800 Central Expressway, Silicon Valley
– Verizon Telecom, Colorado Springs
