Pure DC begins final build phase of 90MW LON01 campus
Author: Joe Peck
Pure Data Centres Group (Pure DC), a designer, developer, and operator of hyperscale data centres, has begun the final major construction phase of its £1 billion LON01 Brent Cross data centre campus in North London.
General contractor Glencar has started piling works for the West Shell of the 70MW LON01B2 facility, with the development set to add more than 23,000m² to the campus. Completion is scheduled for Q2 2029, bringing total capacity to 90MW.
LON01B2 will form part of a closed-loop, liquid-cooled data centre designed to support high-density AI inference and cloud workloads. The development includes recycled steel and other low-carbon materials.
Once complete, more than 750,000 plants will be used to create a living wall around B2, intended to reduce noise and air pollution while also supporting biodiversity near Brent Reservoir’s Site of Special Scientific Interest.
Dan Priest, Campus Delivery Director at Pure DC, notes, “Piling commencement represents an important milestone in the continued development of our Brent Cross campus.
“LON01B2 is a major part of our investment in London’s digital infrastructure, and it is encouraging to see the final stage of construction now progressing on site.”
Glencar is delivering the West Cold Shell, including piling and foundations, underground services, structural works, the building envelope, and roofing. Construction is taking place alongside operations and fit-out activity across the live campus.
