The rapidly growing European data centre market is expected to generate additional demand for approximately 780,000 sqm of logistics space over the next three years across the five major European markets of Frankfurt, London, Amsterdam, Paris, and Dublin, according to a Savills report. There are currently 231 data centres under construction across Europe.
The Czech Republic currently operates approximately 55 data centres, including 27 in Prague. While not yet considered one of Europe's primary hyperscale locations, the market continues to expand steadily with several major projects in preparation. The most significant developments include the MasterDC AI Data Centre in Kanice near Brno scheduled for 2026, Prague Gateway DC in Prague-Zbraslav expected to launch in 2027, and the Gi21 AI data centre in northern Bohemia.
Over the past three years, several existing facilities have expanded their capacities, including CRA Cukrák and CRA Žižkov DC Tower. TTC Teleport has recently strengthened the capacities of its TTC DC1 and TTC DC2 data centres in Prague.
"Today, the Czech data centre market is primarily constrained by limited available power capacity, the absence of major hyperscale players, and lengthy permitting processes. After 2027, however, we expect the arrival of projects and sites prepared for the development of hyperscale data centres," says Ondřej Míček, Head of Industrial Agency at Savills.
According to Savills, every 1 MW of data centre capacity requires approximately 670-980 sqm of logistics space supporting the data centre supply chain, including storage for servers, spare parts, power modules, and other operational technologies. "Much of the commentary around the growth of the DC market is focussed on land sales and power yet very little has been written about the ripple effect into the logistics market," says Kevin Mofid, Head of EMEA Logistics Research, Savills.
