Real Estate and Land Banking

Meeting current and future demand

Our real estate team take a strategic approach when identifying the future needs of our customers’ requirements. This ensures that sites are identified and developed where our customers anticipate future demand. The time it takes to find available real estate, go through the legal process of procuring that land, establishing the required planning permissions and power contracts and then developing the data centre can be 3 years or more.  Therefore, at Colt DCS, we are always looking for suitable land parcels 7-10 years in advance to ensure we can meet the future requirement of our customers.

Agile and customer-focused

When developing a new site, we always consider the environment in which we operate, and the impact our facilities will have on the local community. We endeavour to ensure that we are building meaningful relationships with local businesses, educational institutions, and associated supply chains while keeping any environmental impact to a minimum. Our measurable sustainability targets ensure that we keep this in mind at every step of the journey. Click here to read more about our sustainability initiatives.

Delivered to industry standard

To ensure our data centres are built to the highest industry standards, our team will strive to ensure that each facility is ISO accredited.

Currently, all our data centres under construction which have completed the first phase of development and all of our completed data centres are ISO45001 (occupational health and safety management systems), ISO27001 (information security management), and ISO 14001 (environmental management system) certified. Several are also licensed in line with additional industry standards including SOC2 Type II and ISAE 3402.
