The Data center Frankfurt am Main

5.800m²
Total Area
14 Modules
à 750 kW IT-Load

The data center will be constructed using prefabricated modular units, with the technical infrastructure—such as emergency generators, transformers, and much more—integrated as complete modules. The two-story modular data halls (“whitespaces”) are expected to cover a total area of approximately 5,800 m². Phase 1 of the project will consist of two stacked 750-kW modules, supplemented by a separate, smaller module housing the stairwell and elevator to the upper floor. A total of 14 modules, each with an IT load of 750 kW (N+1), are planned for this purpose. Additional modules will be added as soon as the data center needs to be scaled up. This ensures that capacity is expanded quickly only as needed, enabling demand-driven and sustainable expansion.

Project Parameters

  • Construction Phase 1: Construction of a modular data center comprising 14 modules, each with a 750 kW IT load
  • Each data center module has its own transformers, ventilation, and cooling systems.
  • The emergency power generators will be installed centrally and will supply multiple data center modules.
  • The property is located in an industrial area with adjacent uses:
    Car dealership, student housing, commercial buildings, etc.
  • There is an existing office building on the property, which will be preserved.
  • A local district heating network is in the planning stages.

Rainwater harvesting (potential)

Cost and sustainability benefits (excerpt):

  • Drinking water resources are conserved, thereby promoting groundwater recharge.
    Sewers are relieved, and energy required for drinking water treatment is minimized.
  • Cost savings through drinking water conservation and the associated reduction in wastewater fees.

Potential usage/drinking water savings:

  • Cooling tower cleaning: approx. 4,000 L/year
  • Irrigation of green facade: approx. 30,000 L/per annum
  • Irrigation of additional green spaces: approx. 6,000 L/per annum

Rainwater collection in underground cisterns planned:

  • Maximum space requirement: approx. 25 m²
  • Maximum volume: approx. 20–70 m³
  • Filtration via sedimentation systems (simple) or substrate filter systems (complex).

Photovoltaics, green facades, and flowering meadow

Flat roof areas:

  • Available area: approx. 400 m²
  • Installed capacity: approx. 84 kWp
  • Optimal orientation for maximum yield with minimum load
  • Energy yield: approx. 85 MWh/year
  • CO2 savings: approx. 40 t/year
  • Payback period: approx. 10 years

Wildflower meadow:
A wildflower meadow will be created as a temporary use for the initially undeveloped areas of the property:

  • Promotion of biodiversity (Habitat for insects and bees)
  • Water management (improved rainwater infiltration)
  • Attractive appearance and visual enhancement.
  • Cooling of the surrounding area and binding of particulate matter.
  • Cost-effective interim use with minimal maintenance requirements.
  • Hardly any irrigation is necessary; flowering meadows are extremely resilient to dry periods.

The site receives little shade and is therefore ideal for the planned ESG / sustainability measures.
