Scroggie told analysts on Thursday that NextDC had considered the group’s structural options – things like spinning out developed data centres into a real estate investment trust – although it was too early. “We keep an open mind,” he says.His main message was about the growth in demand for data centre space and the need to start developing its new sites “as fast as we can”.
