CyrusOne Frankfurt FRA7: CyrusOne plans expansion in Frankfurt with seventh data center campus
Sep 11, 2023 | Posted by MadalineDunn
CyrusOne is set to develop another data center in Frankfurt, Germany. Named FRA7, this is the company’s seventh data center campus in Frankfurt.
Construction is set to begin in the third quarter of 2024, with an expected delivery date of the second quarter of 2026.
Based on a 63,000 sqm (678,125 sq ft) plot at Frankfurt Westside business park, the development will feature two three-story buildings offering 81MW spread across nine data halls.
Frankfurt Westside is a 73-hectare commercial and industrial mixed-use regeneration project which is managed by BEOS AG and parent company, Swiss Life Asset Managers.
With a number of sustainability features, the company shared that over 1,800 sqm of the facility walls and roofs will be "green," which the company shared will improve air quality, reduce noise, support thermoregulation, and increase the buildings’ energy efficiency. There are also plans to feature 5,500 sqm of open green space and plant more than sixty trees.
Waste heat re-use methods will also be deployed, with a potential 40MW of waste heat delivered to the campus heating network when at full capacity.
"Frankfurt is an incredibly important location for CyrusOne in Europe with 60MW IT capacity across four operational data centers and another 126MW under development. It is a real milestone to be planning our seventh facility in the city, and our biggest development to date in Frankfurt,” said Andreas Paduch, area VP of European Sales at CyrusOne.
"We are thrilled to have BEOS, an experienced and innovative local organization, as a key partner for this build at Frankfurt Westside and this is the start of a longstanding partnership with this team. It’s fantastic to work with a company so aligned with us on sustainability and biodiversity goals as we move forward on the project together,” Paduch added.
