Templus is set to buy nine AtlasEdge facilities across major European cities in a deal expected to complete in the first half of 2026.
The transaction will see Templus acquire data centres in locations spanning Madrid, Barcelona, Milan, Zurich, Paris, Amsterdam, London, Leeds and Copenhagen.
While financial terms were not disclosed, both companies are positioning the sale as part of a wider portfolio reshuffle. For Templus, the acquisition provides an immediate footprint across multiple regional and metro markets and marks its first move beyond its existing base in Spain. For AtlasEdge, the sale is framed as a move away from smaller sites and towards fewer, larger facilities with longer-term expansion potential.
Templus said the transaction will support ‘significant synergies’ in Spain and form the starting point for international growth. Post-completion, the company expects to manage a portfolio of more than 60MW and serve 750 customers across what it described as high-growth colocation markets.
Nacho Velilla, CEO of Templus, commented, “With this acquisition, Templus begins its European internationalisation, with the firm objective of growing in all markets that are now integrated into Templus’ network of regional data centres in Europe.”
AtlasEdge, meanwhile, said the deal reinforces its focus on ‘larger sites with significant long-term growth potential’, pointing to existing activity in Germany, Austria and Portugal. The company highlighted its plans to develop a 42MW presence in Vienna and a 30MW campus in Lisbon, where it said it intends to invest more than €500 million in the coming years. AtlasEdge also noted that it secured €253 million in green financing in October to support development of the Lisbon campus, and that it has launched the first of three data centres on the site, LIS001.
“This is an exciting step forward for AtlasEdge,” said Tesh Durvasula, CEO of AtlasEdge.
“It strengthens our ability to invest in the regions where we see exceptional long-term growth, while ensuring these sites continue under a focused operator well-placed to support their future.”
Henry Harris, Chief Strategy Officer at AtlasEdge, added, “This transaction marks an important milestone as we continue to refine our portfolio around customer demand – focusing on higher-density, scalable and strategically located facilities in the markets where we see the greatest potential. These nine sites played a key part in our early formation, and we are delighted to have found in the Templus team a new owner who shares our passion for customers and operational excellence.”
For Templus, the geographic spread of the assets suggests a route into several established European hubs, alongside a number of key regional markets that are seeing growing demand for lower-latency capacity closer to end users. The inclusion of sites in both London and Leeds, for example, gives Templus a presence in the UK across two distinct markets, while Copenhagen adds a foothold in the Nordics.
Templus’ leadership is also pointing to regulatory and sovereignty considerations as a driver for demand, particularly as enterprises balance on-premise infrastructure with hyperscale cloud.
Felix de la Fuente, Chief Commercial Officer of Templus, noted, “This acquisition reinforces Templus’ commitment to providing a resilient, proximity-based and state-of-the-art digital infrastructure. These strategically located facilities benefit from excellent connectivity through a variety of carrier options, while providing European businesses with a sovereign and native infrastructure for regulatory compliance. This is critical for AI-ready operations, regulatory alignment, and hybridisation with centralised cloud ecosystems.”
