Hill International was selected by global data center provider Digital Realty to support the construction of new data centers in Heraklion, Crete, and in Athens. These projects facilitate Digital Realty’s expansion in Greece and enhance its role as a connectivity hub throughout the Mediterranean.
The Heraklion data center, named HER1, will mark the island’s first carrier-neutral facility and is expected to support growth of up to 6.5 megawatts (MW) of installed IT load. Digital Realty envisions the data center as a central point for connecting intercontinental and regional subsea cables that make landfall on several locations on the island, encompassing Chania, Tympaki, and Sitia.
The Athens data center, named ATH5, will support up to 15MW load of installed IT and will encompass a development of a 11,000 SM site. The Athens site also includes the ATH4 project, which will deliver a new three-story facility with a 6.8 MW load capacity. Once complete ATH4 will house more than 3,000 SM of white space in total buildout of 6,200 SM.
Hill is providing project management consulting services throughout the pre-construction and construction phases of the new data centers, including construction management, project controls, and related project management services.
