Standard Chartered has been appointed as the Mandated Lead Arranger and Hedging Bank for a EUR 210 million financing facility to develop the Marienpark Data Centre Campus in Berlin. The project by VIRTUS Data Centres will feature four purpose-built data centre buildings, offering up to 57.6 MW of IT capacity over 19,000 square metres of technical space.
The campus is designed for scalability and flexibility, supporting hyperscale customers as well as government and enterprise clients with secure, high-performance, and future-ready data centre solutions. The expansion aligns with VIRTUS's focus on supporting digital infrastructure growth.
VIRTUS operates data centres across key European markets, including London, Berlin, and Milan. As part of ST Telemedia Global Data Centres (STT GDC), VIRTUS is part of a global platform with over 100 data centres and more than 2GW of IT load across 12 geographies.
The new campus aims to provide energy-efficient and adaptable facilities to meet varied customer requirements.
Barry Power, Corporate Finance Director at VIRTUS, described the project as an important step in delivering scalable and secure infrastructure to meet client demand. Shane Moore, Head of Commercial Real Estate, EMEA at Standard Chartered, noted that the transaction demonstrates bespoke finance solutions and supports the development of digital infrastructure in key European markets.
