Real estate investor Westend Real Assets has acquired two data centers in Hamburg, northern Germany.

The two facilities, "Leuchtturm" in the city's Alsterdorf district and "Rahlstedt" in the district of the same name, are operated by Akquinet, an IT solutions provider headquartered in Hamburg.

The acquisitions were part of a larger deal to buy Green Datahub (GDH), a property portfolio company owned by Deutsche Beteiligungs (DBAG). Westend Real Assets made the purchase on behalf of its property investment fund, HAL Digitale Infrastruktur Deutschland 1, CIJ.World reported. The agreement's financial details were not released, but a spokesperson for the firm confirmed that both data centers were acquired for over €100 million ($111 million).

"With Alsterdorf and Rahlstedt, we are acquiring two established sites with long-term leases that are already operational and offer scope for further growth," a spokesperson for Westend Real Assets told DCD. "By acquiring the two Hamburg sites, we are capitalizing on current market opportunities in the regional colocation data center segment and strengthening the fund's portfolio. In this way, we are successfully implementing our fund strategy and achieving our target performance."

Leuchtturm and Rahlstedt were built in 2013 and 2024, respectively, as colocation data centers. According to DataCenterMap, Leuchtturm has more than 19,375 sq ft (1,800 sqm) of IT space across eight system rooms. It was the first colocation project in Germany to receive the "Blue Angel" environmental certification for energy efficiency. Rahlstedt has 25,295 sq ft (2,350 sqm) of IT space and 12 system rooms housing 724 server cabinets.

Westend Real Assets is a subsidiary of Westend Bank and is headquartered in Frankfurt. The firm manages an estimated €750 million ($835 million) in assets. Its alternative investment fund, HAL Digitale Infrastruktur Deutschland 1, invests specifically in German colocation data centers. DBAG is a private equity investor that manages approximately €2.8 billion ($3.1 billion) in assets.
