Virtus Data Centres: Virtus Berlin 7

Virtus Berlin 7 represents the next stage in Virtus Data Centres’ German expansion strategy, further solidifying its position as one of Europe’s fastest-growing data centre operators under ST Telemedia Global Data Centres (STT GDC). Following the Marienpark (Berlin 1–4) campus and subsequent Berlin 5 and Berlin 6 developments, Berlin 7 extends Virtus’s vision of a distributed, hyperscale-ready digital infrastructure network across the Berlin metropolitan region.

Strategically located near major fibre corridors and close to the German capital’s technology and business districts, Virtus Berlin 7 is designed to meet accelerating demand for AI, cloud, and enterprise-grade workloads across continental Europe. Built with the same sustainability and high-efficiency principles that define Virtus’s European portfolio, Berlin 7 continues the company’s commitment to low-carbon, high-density, and future-ready operations.
