Dutch realtor Van Caem and developer Prea Group have unveiled plans for a massive data center campus in Berlin's Lichtenberg district.

  • The €1 billion Bluestar project, first announced in June 2023, will transform a former "wasteland" near Rhinstraße 139 into a four-story facility offering nearly 30,000 square meters of IT space.
  • Set to open in 2026, it will become Berlin's largest rentable data center and Germany's fifth largest.
  • The campus will feature its own electricity substation, 32 backup generators, and will run entirely on renewable energy.
  • Prea Construction GmbH, a Prea subsidiary, is handling the project's architectural work, overall management, and development up to phase 4.
  • Using adiabatic cooling, the facility aims for a power usage effectiveness (PUE) below 1.3, potentially meeting strict government efficiency standards.
  • The site, which currently houses numerous beehives, has an interesting history - it belonged to the Republic of Vietnam for many years before being acquired by Dutch investor Harry van Caem in 2015.

Bluestar Features:


  • White Space: 29,828 m²
  • SLA availability: 100%
  • Energy efficiency rating > 0.7 PUE
  • Planned waste heat utilization ~ 2 Mio. m²
  • Individual room cooling: Air, water, immersion cooling
  • Flexible room design: Cold aisle, cage, private suite, OCP-ready
  • Availability: 2026
