Digital Realty Completes Land Purchase To Reestablish Presence In Paris
Construction to commence immediately on 12 MW facility in top-tier global metro.
Digital Realty has announced it has closed on the acquisition of a 3.5-acre land parcel located in Ferriers-en-Brie, east of Paris. Environmental and operational building permits are currently in place, and Digital Realty will immediately commence construction on a new 12-megawatt data center.
"Our investment strategy has always been customer-driven, as demonstrated by the global footprint of our more than 200 data centers across 14 countries on five continents," said A. William Stein, chief executive officer, Digital Realty. "Given local supply constraints and rapidly growing enterprise colocation and hyperscale customer demand, Paris is an attractive connectivity hub poised for significant growth, and we are delighted to re-establish a strong foothold in this key global metro. We remain committed to further strengthening connections and connectivity for our customers and extending our global platform to deliver comprehensive solutions around the world."
