Stellanor Datacenters, a fast-growing platform backed by a fund managed by global investment manager DWS, has announced the acquisition of eight strategic datacenter sites from Redcentric plc. The move significantly expands Stellanor's edge-focused footprint and marks a pivotal step in its strategy to become a leading provider of regional datacenter capacity for national and international enterprises.
The newly acquired portfolio, which currently serves approximately 450 clients, is strategically located across key UK regions, including London, Reading, Cambridge, Woking, Gatwick, Byfleet, and West Yorkshire. This acquisition brings Stellanor's total UK operations to ten datacenters.
The deal is central to Stellanor's mission of building a new generation of regional datacenters designed for proximity, performance, sustainability, and accessibility. As enterprise adoption of generative AI and real-time analytics accelerates, the demand for secure, scalable, and locally hosted infrastructure at the edge is growing rapidly. Stellanor's expanding network of urban and near-urban facilities is positioned to meet these evolving requirements.
“We’re building infrastructure for the future, where data is generated, processed, and protected at the edge,” said Steve Scott, CEO of Stellanor. “Our goal is to set a new benchmark for high-performance, community-conscious datacenters in Northern Europe. We look forward to growing our business alongside our customers and serving their future colocation needs.”
The acquired sites are noted for their high-density colocation capabilities, robust security standards, and sustainable operations powered by 100% renewable energy. The transaction underscores Stellanor's commitment to sustainable growth by revitalizing existing infrastructure to minimize environmental impact while delivering energy-efficient, low-latency solutions.
Aparna Narain, Partner at DWS, commented on the strategic value of the acquisition, stating, “The acquisition of these sites by Stellanor represents a transformative step in expanding our UK footprint to ten high-quality, strategically located assets with 36MW of secured grid capacity and a blue-chip customer base. We see significant long-term value in building resilient, scalable, and sustainable infrastructure that supports the UK’s digital economy.”
With this expansion, Stellanor solidifies its position in the market and confirms plans for continued growth across the UK and Nordics, with a steadfast focus on delivering market-leading service quality.
