Including the pre-let to Infinity, Segro has now acquired or built 17 data centres across its portfolio, equivalent to 1,370,000 sq ft (127,000 sq m).
The development will be 'fast-tracked' by Segro (which some readers will remember as Slough Estates) as a result of Slough Trading Estate's Simplified Planning Zone status, which means that developments which meet set criteria have outline planning consent and can be progressed quickly and efficiently to save occupiers' time and money, the firm added.
