A major new data centre investment is set to take shape in the Netherlands as an Oaktree Capital backed company revealed plans for a large-scale project in Amsterdam. The move underlines Oaktree’s growing exposure to digital infrastructure assets across Europe amid rising demand for data capacity.
Pure Data Centres, which is backed by Oaktree, said it will invest up to 1 billion euros or about $1.17 billion to develop a new campus in the Dutch capital. The project is among the largest hyperscale data centre investments announced in Europe this year. The Oaktree backed firm confirmed that the full campus will be leased to a single hyperscaler tenant, reflecting strong demand for large scale digital infrastructure supported by Oaktree capital.
Hyperscalers, including some of the world’s biggest cloud service providers, are expanding infrastructure rapidly to support artificial intelligence and cloud services. Companies such as Amazon, Meta, Google and Microsoft are expected to spend hundreds of billions of dollars in 2025, based on filings. This investment surge has driven a wave of new data centre projects across Europe, creating opportunities for investors like Oaktree to scale their presence in the sector through platforms such as Pure Data Centres backed by Oaktree.
Although many announced projects remain in early planning stages, developments of this size rarely secure tenants so early. The Oaktree backed company said construction of the Amsterdam campus will begin in January 2026. The site will be delivered in phases, with the first capacity expected to come online from 2028 onwards. Pure Data Centres, supported by Oaktree, did not disclose the name of the hyperscaler that will occupy the campus.
