CorScale is set to advance its first UK project. The company has appointed McLaren Construction and Phoenix ME to begin predevelopment work on a data center in Iver, Buckinghamshire. The 14-acre Court Lane site could deliver up to 140MW across two multi-story buildings, with plans dating back to at least 2022. Site clearance and enabling works are scheduled to begin in July 2026, with completion targeted for Q4 2029.
Julian Michalski, head of development for Corscale Europe, said: “This is by design an exceptional collaboration of a tier one team. It brings a combination of expertise and experience – each with a strong track record in complex, mission-critical environments – to deliver superior quality, program certainty and technical assurance at every stage, ensuring we meet program deadlines and our practical completion date in late 2029.”
David McDonnell, managing director for data centers at McLaren Construction, added: “As data centers become larger, more powerful and more complex, we become all the more reliant on the latest construction technology to achieve the project management and precision that this design requires. We are proud to be partnering with Corscale and this outstanding project team on what promises to be a landmark scheme, and we look forward to progressing works on site.”
The 14-acre site is currently an industrial estate used for heavy industry, waste handling, storage, and related operations, and also includes the Grade II listed Iver Court Farmhouse, now used as offices. CorScale said its Gensler-designed plans will feature architecture intended to be sympathetic to the historic farmhouse. Situated between Slough and Hayes, the area is seeing growing data center interest from developers including Segro, CyrusOne, and Amazon, with CorScale’s site located in southern Iver near several of these projects.
