Expanded leadership in a critical sector
Wolke and Dyer work with a broad range of participants in the data center ecosystem, including developers, institutional owners, investors and occupiers. Their assignments span major transactions and strategic planning as clients respond to rising requirements for computing capacity, power and connectivity.
Kyle Schoppmann, president of CBRE Mid-Atlantic, said the rapid expansion of cloud computing and digital infrastructure is creating both opportunities and added complexity. He credited Wolke and Dyer with helping clients manage those conditions while contributing to the growth of CBRE’s specialized data center business.
Wolke’s capital markets and investment focus
Wolke specializes in capital markets and strategic real estate transactions. Her work centers on advising data center developers, investors and institutional owners as they evaluate acquisitions, dispositions, development opportunities and broader portfolio strategies.
Her promotion reflects the increasing importance of specialized financial and real estate guidance in a sector where access to land, power and infrastructure can significantly affect asset value and development timing.
Dyer advises high-demand occupier segments
Dyer focuses on occupancy and development strategies for clients in the artificial intelligence, cloud computing and federal markets. These segments are among the key sources of demand for data center capacity, each with distinct requirements for security, scalability, reliability and deployment speed.
His advisory work helps clients assess how real estate decisions align with evolving technology needs and operational priorities. That role is becoming increasingly important as data center users seek locations and facilities capable of supporting intensive computing workloads.
Transaction volume underscores market reach
The team’s reported transaction history illustrates the scale of its activity. More than $28 billion in capital markets transactions, together with 45 powered-land deals valued at over $2.1 billion, points to a broad presence across both operating assets and development sites.
As data center demand expands, CBRE’s specialized group is positioned to advise clients across the full property lifecycle—from land and development strategy to investment transactions and occupancy planning.
