Stellanor completes acquisition of eight data centers from Redcentric

DWS-backed platform completes strategic expansion, now operating eleven UK data centers serving enterprise and AI-ready workloads.

London, UK – May 5 2026 – Stellanor Datacenters, the UK’s fastest-growing urban data center company backed by the global investment manager DWS, today announced the successful completion of its acquisition of eight data centers from Redcentric plc, serving approximately 450 enterprise customers.

The completion marks a milestone in Stellanor’s strategy to build a leading platform of urban data centers serving national and international enterprises with wholesale and AI-ready colocation capacity.

Strategic UK network now operational

With the transaction complete, Stellanor now operates eleven strategically located data centers across the UK – in London North (Goswell Road), London East (Braham Street), London West (Heathrow), London City (Shoreditch), Reading, Cambridge, Woking, Gatwick, Byfleet, West Yorkshire and Hemel Hempstead – with 39 MVA of secured grid capacity.

The integrated portfolio positions Stellanor to deliver high-density colocation capabilities, advanced cooling systems, robust security and sustainable operations powered through renewable energy procurement across its growing network.

AI-Ready Infrastructure Investment

Following completion, Stellanor is implementing coordinated infrastructure upgrades across the network, including high-density power capabilities, advanced cooling systems and enhanced fibre interconnection – enabling the platform to support AI inference, machine learning and real-time analytics workloads while maintaining zero service disruption for existing clients.

“This acquisition represents a transformative step in building the UK’s leading urban data center platform,” said Michael Tobin CBE, Chairman of the Board, Stellanor. “We’ve scaled from two to eleven facilities in nine months, backed by the infrastructure fund managed by DWS Group. This enables Stellanor to serve the accelerating demand for enterprise colocation and AI-ready infrastructure across the UK, with further expansion into Ireland and the Nordic regions planned. We’re building the platform for a digital future that’s close to the businesses and people who depend on it.”

“This divestment allows Redcentric to solely focus on our core managed services business at a pivotal time for our customers. As a dedicated UK MSP with vast experience in supporting organisations in highly regulated markets, we’re perfectly positioned to use this expertise to help business navigate an increasingly complex technology landscape” said Michelle Senecal De Fonseca, Chief Executive Officer Redcentric plc. “We’re confident our data center clients will benefit from Stellanor’s platform approach and DWS backing. We look forward to continuing to develop our partnership together and building on the strong ties we have built through this sales process.”

Community-conscious urban colocation

Stellanor is building a new generation of urban data centers designed for proximity, performance, sustainability and accessibility. The company’s focus on revitalising existing urban sites reduces environmental impact while delivering energy-efficient, low-latency infrastructure close to where data is created and consumed.

With the acquisition complete, Stellanor continues expanding across the UK, Ireland and the Nordics, focusing on market-leading service quality for enterprise customers who require both urban proximity and AI-ready capability. Digital business doesn’t just run on infrastructure – it thrives on relationships.

Around the corner. Around the clock.
