France · 1 project · Last reported

Summary

Altarea's release of 21 October 2026 reports that the group launched works this summer on its 7 MW IT data centre at Vélizy-Villacoublay (headlined as the project's first stone), with delivery to its user expected within 18 months. Its 29 July 2026 half-year report already stated that the group holds a final building permit for the 7 MW IT Vélizy data centre and that works were launched at the end of the half-year. Construction is therefore under way as of the 21 October report; no work stage, completion or operation is asserted, and the delivery horizon is a forecast. evidence

Precision scope
Centroid of the 1.19 ha land of building permit PC 078 640 24 V1008 (current parcels AE 447, AE 532 and AE 533, about 177 by 138 m) at 8-10 avenue Morane Saulnier. The permit covers the data centre together with a student residence and shops, so the point locates the permit plot that contains the data centre, not the data-centre building itself.
Horizontal uncertainty
Not reported

The cadastral service publishes no positional accuracy; the point is the centroid of a 1.2 ha mixed-use plot whose vertices lie up to 117 m away, the data-centre building's position within it is not published, and the successor parcels of AE 444 are inferred from area and adjacency rather than from a published parcel filiation.

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.
