JLL says AI shifts Europe hyperscale data center locations

atNorth · September 01, 2026 · ✓ verified

Data Center Review has published commentary citing new JLL research on how AI is changing hyperscale data center location strategy in Europe.

  • The article says JLL research shows next-generation hyperscale data centers are moving away from established hubs because AI infrastructure needs more power, land, and planning capacity.
  • It attributes a prior observation to Eva Sóley Guðbjörnsdóttir, CFO and Deputy CEO of atNorth, saying traditional hubs such as Frankfurt, London, Amsterdam, Paris, and Dublin remain important for enterprise workloads, while large-scale AI training can move to places with available power and land.
  • The piece is commentary/analysis, not a new project announcement, and it links to the full article on Data Center Review.
