Equinix: Cape Town Campus

Site planned for 2028 and has expansions through 2030

Equinix is planning a hyperscale data center campus in Cape Town, South Africa, spanning a 122,545 m² (approx. 30-acre) site inside the King Air Industria logistics park.

However, the multi-stage land rezoning application has hit fierce local opposition from civil society groups like Foxglove and the Housing Assembly. Opponents argue that Equinix's land rezoning application lacks critical transparency regarding environmental impacts, specifically failing to disclose localized emissions, noise levels, and exact water consumption metrics—a highly sensitive issue following Cape Town's historical "Day Zero" water crisis. While Equinix maintains that the 30-acre facility will utilize waterless, dry-air cooling systems, the multi-stage project is currently paused while the City of Cape Town evaluates the formal opposition.
