Exyte, a global specialist in the design, engineering, and construction of advanced technology facilities, has been awarded three significant data center projects in the Greater Frankfurt area. Secured from leading hyperscale operators and major technology firms, the contracts have a combined value of nearly €750 million, recorded as order intake for 2026. The projects are also expected to create approximately 400 jobs across Germany.
“These new awards highlight the growing importance of the data center sector within Exyte’s portfolio and reinforce its position as a major engine of growth,” said Mark Garvey, Chief Commercial Officer at Exyte. “With demand for artificial intelligence and cloud-based services expanding rapidly worldwide, reliable and scalable digital infrastructure is becoming essential for maintaining our clients’ competitive advantage.”
The latest wins further strengthen Exyte’s reputation as a trusted partner for global technology companies and build upon its extensive experience delivering data center developments in the Frankfurt market.
The three contracts encompass both the construction of new facilities and the expansion of existing sites, with all projects being executed simultaneously. Some of the work will be carried out within operational data centers, requiring meticulous planning and coordination to maintain uninterrupted service while increasing capacity. Together, the facilities will provide approximately 80 megawatts of IT load capacity and are scheduled for completion by 2028. Rapid and dependable delivery remains a critical priority as customers seek to expand infrastructure in response to rising demand.
Workforce Expansion to Support Delivery
To meet project requirements, Exyte plans to add around 400 positions in Germany. Approximately 150 roles will be filled through the redeployment of experienced personnel from other projects within the company, while the remaining 250 positions will be recruited externally.
Hiring efforts will span a variety of disciplines, including engineering, technical services, project controls, construction management, and commissioning. Employees will work within international, multidisciplinary teams on large-scale infrastructure developments, contributing to technologies that support the future growth of AI and digital services.
Advancing Digital Infrastructure for an AI-Driven Future
The Frankfurt projects are part of a wider surge in investment across Europe’s data center sector. Growing AI adoption, increased reliance on cloud computing, and the need for secure and resilient digital ecosystems are driving demand for large, high-density facilities.
“Data centers are now a cornerstone of modern economic infrastructure,” said Jürgen Raschendorfer, Chief Operating Officer for Exyte’s Continental Europe region. “These projects expand our established presence in Frankfurt and help clients increase capacity, improve resilience, and deliver next-generation digital services in one of Europe’s most important data center hubs.”
Focus on Delivery Excellence
Exyte attributes its success to a delivery model that combines advanced engineering expertise with highly standardized and industrialized construction methods.
“What sets Exyte apart is our ability to execute large-scale data center programs with confidence in cost, schedule, and quality outcomes,” said Damian Farr, President of Exyte’s Global Business Unit Data Centers. “This capability is especially important in live operational environments, where careful coordination and integrated execution are essential to avoid disruptions.”
Modern data center designs are also evolving to support higher power densities and sophisticated cooling technologies needed for AI-driven workloads. Exyte leverages offsite manufacturing and prefabrication techniques to accelerate project delivery, improve quality standards, and reduce construction risks.
To meet increasing energy requirements, the company incorporates flexible power infrastructure and resilient backup systems that enhance operational reliability. Digitalized delivery and commissioning processes provide greater predictability across project timelines, costs, and quality metrics. In addition, Exyte’s established supply chain network and category management strategy help secure access to critical equipment and specialist partners despite ongoing market constraints.
These capabilities enable customers to bring facilities online more quickly, achieve greater operational reliability, and expand digital infrastructure with confidence.
