Summary

NorthC Schweiz's post of 30 September 2026 states that a new AI enterprise data centre will open in Basel in 2027, alongside its operating data centres in Münchenstein, Biel and Winterthur, and lists Münchenstein (Basel) 3 among its Swiss data centres. NorthC's facility page identifies Münchenstein (Basel) 3 as an AI-oriented data centre on the uptownBasel innovation campus at Schorenweg 21, Arlesheim, with 7.5 MW total power, available from 2027; its 11 September 2025 release describes the contract to build the data centre as a new building on that campus.

Precision scope: Official federal building-address point (EGAID 101087698, EGID 2348834) of Schorenweg 21, 4144 Arlesheim, the address NorthC publishes for Münchenstein (Basel) 3. It lies inside cadastral parcel 4484 (about 1,640 m2), 5 m from the parcel centroid. The register attaches the address to an existing 1908 assembly hall of 838 m2; the new data-centre building's footprint and its relation to that hall are not published, so the point locates the project address, not the building.
Horizontal uncertainty: Not reported
The federal address register publishes no positional accuracy, and the planned building's position on the uptownBasel campus is not published; parcel 4484's vertices lie up to 42 m from the point, and two projected building records of unstated use on campus parcel 6606, about 146 m away, could also be the new building, so the data centre may lie up to about 150 m from the point.

A locator places the site on the map. It is not a building footprint, a construction extent or a surveyed boundary unless the use scope is an official boundary, and even then it is a parcel or permit boundary.
