atNorth has topped out a five-story expansion at its FIN02 data center in Espoo, Finland, under a €100 million ($112 million) Skanska contract awarded in May 2026. The company announced the milestone this week on LinkedIn, describing the project as "another step in atNorth's continued investment in Finland" and a response to demand for reliable, high-performance digital infrastructure.
The new building totals 11,200 sqm (120,555 sq ft), with construction underway since April 2026 and completion due in Q3 2027. Divided by floor area, the contract works out to roughly €8,900 per sqm — a build-cost marker to set against the structural lead times this publication has tracked.
At full build-out the Espoo site will total 40MW across 20,050 sqm. The original 15MW facility was announced in 2023 and launched in October 2025.
Ownership has changed since that first phase was announced: Equinix and CPP acquired atNorth earlier this year, after Partners Group bought the company in 2021. atNorth operates seven data centers across Sweden, Iceland and Finland, with further sites under development in Finland, Denmark, Sweden and Norway.
