- Milestone marks the final major construction phase in the construction of the +£1 billion campus
LONDON, June 2, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Pure Data Centers Group (“Pure DC”), the pan-European and Middle East hyperscale cloud and AI data center platform, today announced that it has appointed Glencar to deliver the final phase of construction of its Brent Cross (LON01) campus in North London – expanding it by a further 23,186 m² and bringing total campus capacity to 90 MW.
The new facility, known as LON01 (B2), builds on the existing 20MW (B1) that is already operational and leased. Completion of B2 is scheduled for the second quarter of 2029.
Glencar’s scope includes the supply of the West Cold Shell, including piles and foundations, structural framing and connections to the adjacent East Cold Shell, concrete and slab works, stair cores and all sheathing and roofing works.
The project will be delivered on a live operational campus, with Building 1 operational and the East Cold Shell currently being fitted out. Glencar will coordinate the delivery of the West Phase alongside ongoing works, managing logistics and sequencing across multiple active construction zones.
LON01 (B2) will be home to one of the world’s largest living walls, covering approximately 7,400 m² of the building’s facade and containing more than 750,000 individual plants. The wall will support biodiversity, reduce noise and improve air quality next to the Brent Reservoir, an area of special scientific interest, and the North Circular, one of the UK’s lowest quality air zones.
Gary Wojtaszek, Executive Chairman of Pure DC, said: “The data center industry faces a critical challenge: building the digital infrastructure the world needs in a way that also cares for local communities and the environment. We are excited to be working with Glencar, whose approach to delivery and sustainability aligns with our ambitions for this project.”
Eddie McGillycuddy, CEO of Glencar, said: “This appointment reflects our growing track record in delivering complex data center projects within live environments. The Brent Cross campus presents a technically demanding programme, requiring careful coordination across multiple phases, and we look forward to working closely with Pure DC and the wider team to deliver this next phase of development.”
