"In terms of capacity, it will be the city's largest hyperscale data center, with a single major cloud player as its tenant. The project involves 78MW of new capacity, according to Reuters. That may sound modest, but in a European context, the figure is striking. The new capacity represents approximately 7 percent of the total 1,162MW of new live data center capacity added in continental Europe this year."
"A lease agreement is already in place. Pure Data Centres reports that the campus will be leased to a single hyperscaler tenant. That narrows the list of potential users to Amazon, Meta, Google, or Microsoft. Construction will start in January 2026. Pure Data Centres expects phased completion from 2028 onwards. The data centre will be able to run both AI and standard cloud workloads, according to the company."
A €1 billion investment will create a data campus in Amsterdam delivering 78MW of new capacity, making it the city's largest hyperscale facility by power. The campus will be leased to a single hyperscaler tenant, narrowing potential users to major cloud providers, with construction starting January 2026 and phased completion from 2028. The facility will run both AI and standard cloud workloads. A private substation will supply power to avoid local network congestion and substation shortages. Dutch data centers face additional challenges transitioning to liquid cooling for AI infrastructure. Oaktree Capital Management provides financial backing to the project.
