CyrusOne plans to build its next data center in Frankfurt, named FRA6, following the acquisition of the Europark site in Sossenheim, which is situated in close proximity to several operational CyrusOne Data Centers.
The new data center will offer a total IT capacity of 72 MW delivered over four floors, with each level delivering 18 MW. The acquired site encompasses over 27,500 square meters (6.8 acres) of land.
“The acquisition of the Europark site further demonstrates CyrusOne’s commitment to Frankfurt as the digital capital of Europe and our ongoing European expansion. We are continually assessing the market with a view to increasing our presence in the Frankfurt area,” said Andreas Paduch, Area Vice President, European Sales at CyrusOne. “Initial discussions with hyperscale customers and other large enterprises have revealed significant early interest in FRA6 and we look forward to continuing these as we progress the build. This underscores both our expertise in this market and our ability to consistently deliver solutions that are instrumental to our customers’ business success and expansion goals.”
The company’s European portfolio includes over 270 MW IT capacity across Frankfurt, London, Amsterdam, Madrid, Paris and Dublin, including all operational data centers and active developments.
