As AI demand surges and data centers strain power grids here on Earth, a radical new idea is gaining traction: Put computers on the moon. On this episode of Property Play, Diana Olick sits down with David Steinbach of Hines and Ross Centers of Ethos to explore the emerging race to build infrastructure beyond Earth. From the “Space Coast” of Florida to the surface of the moon, they break down how a new industrial ecosystem is forming…one that could redefine where and how we build. With energy constraints, cooling challenges, and land limitations pushing terrestrial data centers to their limits, space offers something Earth can’t: virtually unlimited power, cooling, and real estate. The bottom line: The next big real estate play might not be on Earth.
