A major partnership focused on a data centre conversion project in Poland says it has completed the successful early repositioning of a logistics property in Warsaw into a leading data centre.
European Real Estate Fund Greykite, along with its affiliates, and White Star Real Estate have announced what they describe as several major milestones in their Digital Ursus data centre conversion project in Warsaw, including the signing of a long-term lease with a global leader in data centre solutions.
This conversion, say the partners, marks the next phase in the site’s transformation from a logistics asset into a premier data centre hub.
As part of this major data centre conversion project, Digital Ursus has successfully secured increased power capacity at the 20,000 square metre project from 18 MW currently to 65 MW over the next year. The unnamed tenant has committed to a long-term lease with significant investment planned to scale the existing operations on-site.
The partners say that the site’s prime location enhances its role as an important node in Europe’s rapidly growing data centre landscape. It is strategically located eight kilometres from downtown Warsaw and six kilometres from Chopin Airport.
The backdrop to this development is a Polish data centre market expected to triple in size by 2029, driven by rising demand for digital services, cloud computing and colocation solutions. Warsaw remains the key hub, accounting for nearly 70% of the country's commercial colocation and hosting capacity. The rapid growth in data processing is fuelling a growing need for robust digital infrastructure.
