The Pori project comprises 26 hectares of land with legally valid zoning and building permits in place. Grid capacity has also been secured, making the site immediately actionable for the acquiring party.
Pori’s strategic location in western Finland, combined with access to reliable power infrastructure and a favourable regulatory environment, makes it an attractive destination for large-scale data center investment. The project builds on Polarnode’s established track record of identifying, permitting, and developing data center sites in Finland’s most competitive locations.
“We are excited to have found a strong partner for the Pori site. This transaction reflects the quality of the work our team has put into developing a fully permitted, grid-ready asset, and we look forward to seeing the project move into design and delivery phases.”, says Mikko Toivanen, Co-Founder & Chairman of the Board at Polarnode.
The divestment follows Polarnode’s continued momentum in the Finnish data center market. Earlier this year, the company announced a partnership with Nebius for 310 MW campus in Lappeenranta, which is one of the largest data center investments in the country’s history.
Polarnode’s development model focuses on creating investment-ready data center sites by securing land, zoning, permits, and grid connections before bringing in operators and investors. This approach significantly reduces development risk and accelerates time to market for acquiring parties.
Savills and Augusta & Co acted as financial advisors to Polarnode in the transaction, supporting the company in identifying the right partner and structuring the deal.
