They even directly mention this in the article. Specialized real estate brokers will keep up to date on who is building what in a market. It's hard to hide a data center. They tend to need a shit tons of permits to construct, even if being built out in an existing industrial location. Not a lot of secrets for those paying attention. Hell, most tend to publish lots of attention getting stuff in local papers and trade mags and their own websites. Many are somewhat large-ish chains. So if you're a data center owner wanting to increase leases you'd hire a broker like just about any other commercial space and they'd use their connections and marketing abilities to sell it to other brokers representing orgs like Dropbox and thousands of others.

One particular in my area is multi tenant building - a grocery shop, education facilities and Equinix on top of them. Unless you are able to see HVAC systems on rooftop there's no way to tell it's data center you're looking at. It's basically like that building from Man in Black 1
