Warehouse landlord Tritax Big Box REIT Plc is pivoting into data center development after purchasing a site where it plans to build one of the biggest such facilities in the UK.
The company has bought a 74-acre site in Heathrow, an area to the west of London that’s among the most sought after locations for data centers, according to a statement Tuesday. It plans to build a 107 mega-watt facility by the second half of 2027 and has signed a separate agreement that will ensure the site has crucial access to power, it said.
