By selling nine data centres to Templus, AtlasEdge said it would be focusing on its larger, scalable sites.

The company highlighted that this is a significant moment for them, with the transaction enabling them to continue under a “focused owner” while it sharpens its strategic focus for its next phase of growth.

“Looking ahead, we are doubling down on fewer, larger and more scalable campuses in the markets where demand is accelerating fastest,” AtlasEdge stated via LinkedIn. “This includes our 42MW development in Vienna, a key gateway for Central and Eastern Europe, and our 30MW Lisbon campus, where we plan to invest more than €500 million over the coming years.”

The decision could also enable Templus, a leading data centre platform in Southern Europe, to further strengthen its presence in Europe and key regional markets.

“This is an exciting step forward for 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,” explained Tesh Durvasula, CEO of AtlasEdge.

Redefining a data centre portfolio

The nine centres are located in Madrid, Barcelona, Milan, Zurich, Paris, Amsterdam, London, Leeds and Copenhagen. The transaction is currently subject to customary regulatory approvals and is expected to be completed in the first half of 2026.

AtlasEdge is looking to strategically focus on its larger sites that have significant long-term growth potential, having already scaled footprint at key sites in Germany, Austria and Portugal.

In October, the company secured €253 million (US$296.6 million) in green financing to support the development of its campus in Lisbon and formally launched the first of its three data centres, LIS001.

“These investments reflect the direction we are taking – higher density, greater scale and long-term leadership in our priority markets,” the company added.

Henry Harris, chief strategy officer at AtlasEdge, said: “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.”

Supporting European market growth

Templus is the first network of regional, sustainable, state-of-the-art data centres in Southern Europe. It aims to offer its customers top-tier technology solutions specialising in proximity, maximum security and the highest standards of efficiency and sustainability.

Through the acquisition, Templus is hoping to unlock significant synergies in key Spanish markets and start international expansion. The organisation will manage a portfolio of more than 60MW and 750 customers distributed across high-growth colocation markets.

“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,” explained Nacho Velilla, CEO of Templus.

Felix de la Fuente, chief commercial officer of Templus, added: “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.”

AtlasEdge said it will retain operational responsibility for the facilities and continue to serve customers until completion of the transaction.
