Article Highlights
Off On

In a significant move poised to reshape the data landscape, Azora, an investment management firm, has announced the launch of its European hyperscale data center platform called Tillion. This ambitious project begins with a major data center campus outside Zaragoza in Aragon, Spain. The facility, strategically located near Villamayor de Gállego, is set to have an initial capacity of 150MW, eventually expandable to 300MW. With a staggering $2 billion earmarked for development, the project aims to be operational by 2026. A crucial feature of the campus will be its closed-loop cooling system designed to minimize water consumption – an imperative consideration in today’s climate-conscious world. Moreover, it offers options for on-site power generation or energy offsets through Power Purchase Agreements, reflecting a commitment to sustainability.

Strategic Investment and Regional Impact

Azora’s investment underscores the strategic advantages of Aragon’s energy and industrial network. Santiago Olivares, Azora’s partner, notes the location’s appeal to giants like Microsoft, Amazon, QTS, and Box2bit, which is expected to lead to over €5 billion in computing equipment investments by the operating company alone. This influx of major industry players is transforming Aragon into a growing technological hub. With a diverse portfolio worth €9.7 billion across residential, commercial, and energy sectors, Azora’s market presence is significant. Its commitment to cutting-edge technology is evident in the launch of Quetta, an Edge data center initiative with Core Capital, planning six centers around Spain and Portugal.

Azora’s projects are in line with the broader trend of technological growth in Aragon, reflecting a strong focus on innovation, sustainability, and economic development. Microsoft’s investment, nearing €10 billion, highlights Aragon’s ascending role in the data center sector. Jorge Azcón, Aragon Government President, emphasized the region’s prime conditions for attracting tech companies. These developments are expected to boost the local economy, create jobs, and solidify Azora’s key role in Europe’s digital infrastructure growth. This collaboration shows the synergy between Azora’s strategies and the region’s potential, contributing to Aragon’s technological advancement and investment.
