Digital Realty has obtained a building permit for its 26,000 m² data center, MRS6, in Bouc-Bel-Air, on the site of a former Decathlon warehouse. The facility will include seven server rooms and is designed to meet higher energy demands, consuming 80 to 120 kW.

A new high-voltage power supply will be built by RTE to connect to the facility. The project has drawn opposition from local residents and environmental groups, but a favorable conclusion was reached during a public inquiry.

Construction is set to start in 2026 and finish by early 2028, with an investment of €700 million as part of a larger €5.2 billion investment plan in France. Digital Realty also plans six additional projects in Southern Europe and aims to maintain its leadership in the data center market.
