**[SEGRO plc](https://www.directorstalkinterviews.com/ftse-company/segro-plc/sgro.l)**(
LON:SGRO), a leading owner, manager and developer of modern warehouses, industrial
property and data centres, has provided an update on its 2.5GW+ data centre programme.

**Signing of a further powered shell pre-let on the Slough Trading Estate**

SEGRO has signed an agreement to develop a powered shell data centre for an existing
customer on the Slough Trading Estate, Europe’s largest hub of data centres.

The completed building will provide 30,000 sq m of modern data centre space across
three floors of data halls and a roof level plant deck. Planning permission is in
place via the Slough Trading Estate Simplified Planning Zone. It will be built to
the highest [sustainability](https://www.directorstalkinterviews.com/sustainability-green-stocks-news)
standards with SEGRO targeting a BREEAM ‘Excellent’ rating for the powered shell
development.

The agreement includes the provision of 50MVA of power when fully operational, which
the customer will contract directly.

**SEGRO Pure Premier Park Data Centre Limited receives planning committee approval**

Separately, SEGRO announces that it has received planning committee approval for
its first fully fitted data centre, which it is developing in joint venture with
Pure Data Centres Group at SEGRO Premier Park in Park Royal, West London. The facility,
which will benefit from 70 MVA of incoming power, will be delivered to high sustainability
standards and will incorporate a highly energy‑efficient design, including closed‑
loop liquid cooling to minimise water use.

Together with its joint venture partner, SEGRO will continue working alongside the
relevant parties and stakeholders to progress the development, including finalising
the planning process and securing a pre-let.

> at SEGRO, said****:**
> “These two announcements demonstrate further progress in our strategy to execute
> on the 2.5GW+ opportunity in our powered land bank. The critical mass of data 
> centres we have built up at Slough over the last 20 years, together with the Simplified
> Planning Zone status we have secured there were integral to enabling us to work
> with an existing customer to expand its campus, while allowing SEGRO to profitably
> utilise a relatively small 3.5 acre plot. Securing planning committee approval
> at Premier Park is also an important milestone for both our Pure JV at the site
> and, more broadly, in the evolution of SEGRO’s fully fitted data centre development
> strategy.”
