Digital Realty has broken ground on a 22MW data center in Ankara, Türkiye, first announced in September. The facility is expected to go live in 2028, though further details have not been disc
losed. The project is being developed in partnership with Turkish investment firm Rönesans Infrastructure.
“Strategically positioned at the crossroads of Europe, the Middle East and Asia, Türkiye represents an important new chapter in the growth of our global platform, helping businesses access the connectivity and infrastructure they need to thrive,” the company said.
Digital Realty’s EMEA head, Paula Cogan, said the groundbreaking reflects the company’s long-term commitment to the region. Its partner, Rönesans Holding, is a Turkish investment and contracting group founded in 1993, with interests spanning construction, real estate, energy, industry, and healthcare. The joint venture is also targeting a data center development in Istanbul, with potential capacity of 200MW and investment of up to $3 billion.
