How does it practically work? e.g. if I were OVH I just pick any building owner that gives me the cheapest deal, and such owner has absolutely zero concerns as well about safety? Or would OVH own or co-own the building? I am surprised that the landlord didn't have a virtuous conflict of interest in this case.

It's a massive multi-story datacenter used only by them, specifically designed and built for their passive cooling concept, surrounded by other datacenters used only by them. I would be very surprised if they didn't own the building

They specified a price and it was built to that price point. All corners cut as requested.
