Yondr Frankfurt FRA02: 40MW Hyperscale Bischofsheim Node
Status: Active / Under Heavy Structural Construction (Tracking June 2026) | Location: Industrial Zone Am Schindberg, 65474 Bischofsheim, Hesse, Germany
Project Overview
The Yondr Frankfurt FRA02 Data Center is a major hyperscale facility under development in Bischofsheim, strategically located within the highly competitive Frankfurt FLAP D market, one of the most important digital infrastructure regions in Europe. The project has been specifically designed to meet the growing demand for large scale cloud computing, artificial intelligence processing, and enterprise digital transformation services while addressing the increasing challenges of limited land availability and power constraints within central Frankfurt. Built from the ground up as a next generation data center, FRA02 is engineered to deliver substantial power capacity and high rack densities capable of supporting advanced cloud platforms, AI training environments, machine learning workloads, and other compute intensive applications. As of mid 2026, the facility is progressing through advanced mechanical, electrical, and plumbing fit out phases, with critical systems being installed to ensure long term operational reliability and scalability. A key feature of the development is its dedicated on site high voltage substation, which provides a resilient and independent power supply while reducing dependence on constrained municipal grid infrastructure. This capability enables the facility to support future expansion and the increasing power requirements of hyperscale customers. FRA02 has also been designed to comply with strict German environmental regulations and broader European sustainability objectives, incorporating energy efficient technologies and responsible operational practices. In addition, the facility aligns with European data sovereignty requirements, making it an attractive option for organizations seeking secure and compliant hosting environments within the European Union. Its proximity to Frankfurt's extensive telecommunications ecosystem allows customers to access major carrier networks and establish ultra low latency connections to DE CIX, one of the world's largest internet exchange points. These advantages position FRA02 as a critical infrastructure asset for global cloud providers and enterprises seeking scalable digital capacity.
