KDDI has acquired the Republic campus in Tower Hamlets, London, for around £250 million ($333.8m) from Trilogy Real Estate and LaSalle Investment Management. The site, which includes two office buildings totaling 483,000 sq ft (44,862 sqm), is zoned for a 376,000 sq ft (35,000 sqm) data center with a potential IT power of 30MW.

Planning consent was secured for the data center, which is part of a larger expansion plan that includes residential towers and lab space. The acquisition is adjacent to Telehouse's existing Docklands campus.
