Background:

Pure Data Centres Group (Pure DC) has signed its biggest single-tenant hyperscale data center lease in Europe for 2025, securing one customer for the entire 78 MW campus in Westpoort, Amsterdam. The company plans to invest over €1 billion (US$1.2 billion) to develop the state-of-the-art facility.

According to the company, the agreement covers the full AMS01 campus, with Pure DC handling site acquisition, planning approvals, and power infrastructure. A private substation is already operational, and construction of the data halls is set to begin in January 2026.

Dame Dawn Childs DBE FREng, CEO of Pure DC, stated, “Amsterdam is one of Europe’s most constrained markets for digital infrastructure, and Pure DC continues to unlock new low-latency, high-quality capacity for customers.”

The campus will feature three towers, each housing 26 MW data halls designed for high-density computing workloads. The site will connect to a 50kV grid through a private substation, achieving a power usage effectiveness (PUE) of 1.2 in line with Dutch efficiency standards.

Pure DC has secured 100 MVA of power and leased land from the Port of Amsterdam. The project faced challenges because land was limited, permits were strict, and power was limited.

The Netherlands data center market is expected to grow from USD 11.25 billion in 2025 to USD 17.85 billion by 2030, and IT capacity is expected to more than double. Growth is driven by expanding cloud services, higher computing needs, and better cooling systems.
