UK Data Centre On The Market – Ideal For Overseas Entrant to UK

LONDON - March 26, 2014 - PRLog -- GVA Connect, the data centre specialist division of property agents GVA, has taken new instructions to market an existing 1.6 MVA data centre ‘Nottingham Portal’ with the potential for expansion to 18 MVA and 70,000 square feet of space – all of which is fully consented.  Announcing the availability, GVA Connect director Charles Carden said, “Nottingham Portal data centre is just one mile from Nottingham city centre and nine miles from J24 of the M1 motorway. The site is centrally located in the UK and, having been originally developed by British Rail in the 1980s for its own IT needs, is alongside what was the British Rail National Fibre Network and as a result is extremely well connected.”

Phase 1 of the data centre is partly operational with customers occupying around 3,000 sq. ft. and producing an existing income stream.

Three further data halls have already been created meaning that some 8,775 sq. ft. of additional technical space can be delivered with 1.6 MVA of reserved power via the site’s dedicated 2MVA, 11 kV transformer.

Expansion

Planning consent exists to allow the existing facility to be extended to some 70,000 sq. ft. of gross space with Phase 1 having been altered to facilitate this work to go ahead with ease.   Phase 2 of Nottingham Portal data centre has been designed as a high density Tier 3 facility providing an additional 35,000 sq. ft. of technical space and allowing  power and cooling in N+1, N+N or 2N configurations to suit customer requirements.

Dual 18 MVA diverse power feeds have already been surveyed and would be available within 18 months. Additional land can also be made available adjacent to the data centre site if required.   Said GVA Connect’s Carden, ”this site is ideally placed for an out-of-London UK data centre with readily available power, connectivity and land. It’s in a low risk area of a major city in the midlands of England. With existing customers and an existing income stream it would make an ideal low risk, low-cost expansion option for either an existing UK data centre operator or an overseas entrant to the UK market.”   Full details are available for the existing data centre and consented plans the expansion. These can be viewed by contacting Charles Carden at GVA Connect’s London Stratton Street office.
