CyrusOne FRA7 (Frankfurt Westside)

Status: Under Construction   |   Location: Griesheim (West of Frankfurt), Germany

Project Overview

The CyrusOne FRA7 campus in Griesheim, located strategically west of Frankfurt, represents a major expansion of hyperscale capacity in Europe's second-largest data center market. With a planned total IT load of 126 MW, the project underscores Frankfurt's continued importance as the digital heart of Central Europe, largely driven by the presence of DE-CIX and the high demand from major cloud providers and AI companies.The development is particularly notable for its commitment to sustainability, which is increasingly regulated in Germany. The project is designed to comply with the stringent requirements of the German Energy Efficiency Act (EnEfG), which mandates that new data centers must not only achieve a low Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE $\le 1.2$) but also transition to 100% renewable energy for their electricity consumption by 2027. To meet these goals, CyrusOne has partnered with the energy giant E.ON to ensure reliable and sustainable power delivery. This focus on green energy is critical for attracting hyperscale tenants who have global net-zero commitments.CyrusOne FRA7 is being constructed on a large, multi-building campus, offering the necessary scale and flexibility for build-to-suit requirements. Its location is optimised for low-latency connectivity, crucial for the financial institutions and enterprise customers concentrated in the Rhine-Main region. The phased development, with the first major phase targeted for delivery by 2026/2027, ensures a steady injection of much-needed capacity into a market where vacancy rates remain exceptionally low. This project solidifies CyrusOne's position as a key global hyperscale provider, catering to the increasingly power-hungry workloads generated by the rise of AI and high-performance computing (HPC).
