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.
