Company strengthens long-term commitment to UK data centre market with continued development of 37 MW AI-ready campus
LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM, June 2, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Green Mountain DC UK Limited has acquired the freehold of its 8-acre, leased data centre site in Romford, East London, further strengthening its long-term commitment to the UK market and the continued expansion of its LON1 data centre campus.
The freehold acquisition gives Green Mountain full ownership of the site, enabling the company to continue operating the existing facility as a data centre while developing the remaining capacity of the campus.
The Romford site forms part of Green Mountain’s growing UK platform and offers a total campus capacity of 37 MW. Of this, 7 MW has been operational since 2010, with a further 14 MW recently delivered. The campus is designed to support the growing demand for secure, scalable, energy-efficient and AI-ready digital infrastructure in and around London.
“This acquisition marks an important milestone for Green Mountain in the UK,” said Simon Blackburn, Managing Director, UK. “Securing the freehold of our Romford site gives us long-term control over a strategically important data centre campus in one of the world’s most important connectivity hubs. We will continue to operate the site as a data centre while developing the remaining capacity to meet increasing demand from AI, hyperscale and enterprise customers.”
The Romford campus benefits from strong connectivity, access to major fibre routes and proximity to London’s key digital infrastructure markets, including Docklands and the City of London. Green Mountain intends to continue investing in the campus, including the development of AI and hyperscale-ready capacity.
The acquisition also reflects Green Mountain’s broader growth strategy in the UK. The company is actively seeking to acquire additional sites across in the London region to build further data centres, supporting increasing demand for sustainable, high-performance digital infrastructure. The company’s UK expansion is part of its wider strategy to deliver secure, sustainable and scalable data centre capacity across major European markets.
