Data Center Campus
Data4's first Greek campus (ATH1) sits on a 7.5-hectare industrial plot at Agiou Louka 33 in Paiania (Peania), East Attica, about 20 minutes from downtown Athens. Brookfield-owned Data4 announced the €300 million campus in September 2024 as part of its €7 billion European expansion plan and broke ground later that year.
The master plan holds two data center buildings (DC1 and DC2). Data4 targets BREEAM Excellent certification for the Greek buildings, which would make them the first BREEAM-certified data centers in Greece.
