CyrusOne acquired the freehold purchase of the 5-acre site in Alcobendas in 2021, with the data center set to comprise a two-story building with 18 MW of total IT load over 6,000 sqm of technical space. The facility will achieve BREEAM accreditation of ‘Very Good’, utilize 100% renewable energy, and generate around 100 KW on site through roof mounted solar PV panels.
“We are excited to further expand our European footprint and enter the Spanish market for the first time,” said Richard Brandon, CyrusOne’s Vice President and Head of Design & Construction in Europe. “Demand continues to be strong in Madrid as an increase in investment by cloud service providers presents an opportunity for hyperscale data center development. It is the right time to be present and on the ground in this key location, offering our customers capacity and choice across the continent.”
Itercon, a leading construction company based in Valencia, is leading the construction, general contracting and structural elements of the project. Additional partners include engineering consultancy Quark, which is in charge of design and the construction management; real estate advisors JLL, which is leading on the project management; Turner & Townsend who is advising on cost and management; and Q Safety which is advising on Health and Safety.
“We are thrilled to have been selected by CyrusOne to manage this impressive new data center project. Our team at Itercon are passionate about delivering world-class sustainable projects and facilities of this nature,” added Itercon CEO, Manuel Marín. “It’s been a pleasure to work with CyrusOne and the other partners, and we look forward to the next phase of the build, ahead of the planned completion in April 2024.”
