Pure Data Centres launches €1 billion Amsterdam campus, propelling AI infrastructure amidst Europe's growing hyperscale demand.

Pure Data Centres, backed by Oaktree Capital, has announced a plan to develop a €1 billion (approximately $1.17 billion) data centre campus in Amsterdam. This will be one of the largest hyperscale data centre investments in Europe in 2023. The data centre will be developed as a single facility and leased solely to a hyperscale cloud provider in response to increased demand for Artificial Intelligence (AI) infrastructure. Major technology companies (Amazon, Meta, Google and Microsoft) are forecast to spend hundreds of billions on their respective infrastructures in 2025, indicating that there will be a substantial increase in the need for data centres with increased capacity.

The CEO of Pure Data Centres, Dawn Childs spoke about how important and exciting it will be to have a hyperscale lease with this site. The two factors that make this deal with the site in such a constrained market especially significant are the size of the development and the fact that Amsterdam currently has a moratorium prohibiting the development of any new data centre facilities. The anticipated construction start date for this project is January of 2026 and the phased completion of construction will begin in 2028. In addition, this particular campus will feature a dedicated private substation to alleviate grid constraints throughout Europe and provide support for AI and cloud workloads.

According to industry experts, this development will have a positive impact on the Amsterdam data centre market, as noted by Kevin Restivo, the head of data centre research at CBRE. Other than the Pure DC campus announcement, only 32 megawatts of new supply have been added to the Amsterdam market over the last 24 months. The 78 megawatts that are planned to be built for the Pure DC campus will make it the largest data centre in Amsterdam by power capacity, representing about 7% of the 1,162 megawatts of new capacity that are projected to be added to the continental European data centre market by the end of 2025.
