How much parking does a data centre need, and why is it not placed underneath the building, underground? Why do cars have to take up so much land?

Building on grade is much cheaper. There is in general plenty of surface area on Planet Earth.

Datacenters aren’t built next to Nordstrom. Theres just no reason to spend on engineering and construction that increases density like underground parking.
