Why Secondary Markets. Why Now.

The data center constraint in Europe is not demand. It is power, land, and permitting speed.

The Problem

Western Europe Is at Capacity

Frankfurt, Amsterdam, Dublin, London — moratoriums, grid queues, 3–5 year permitting timelines. New hyperscale deployments face 18–36 month grid connection waits. Capital is actively looking elsewhere.

The Shift

Secondary Markets Are Now Priority

CBRE's 2025 investor survey: 62% favor opportunistic new development. Romania's data center capacity growing at 19.93% CAGR through 2031.

The Timing

Early Access Before Market Pricing

This site has not been packaged by any large operator. No market premium exists yet. PPC Romania's adjacent acquisition in December 2025 provides independent institutional validation.

The Position

What Resita Data Infrastructure SRL Is

Strategic Partnership Agreement signed with Municipality of Reșița. LOI received from institutional fund. Registered company — CUI 54450187. Land acquisition capital being structured. Institutional-grade origination — not a concept.

Grid Infrastructure

Every figure sourced from public records. 650 MVA is installed transformer capacity — not available MW. Actual connectable load requires the formal Transelectrica ATR study.

Who Should Engage

Two distinct profiles. Different risk appetite. Different value proposition.

Developers & Operators

You secure sites, obtain grid connections, and build. You need power path, permitting speed, and execution control. Reșița offers documented grid adjacency, confirmed industrial zoning, and a clear execution path from day one.

  • Grid adjacency documented — ATR study is your first step, not a year of pre-work
  • Confirmed industrial zoning — no rezoning risk
  • Majority ownership and full design/build/operate authority
  • PPC's adjacent acquisition validates the industrial zone independently
  • Local site knowledge eliminates 12–18 months of market reconnaissance

Infrastructure Funds

You allocate capital to institutional digital infrastructure. LOI stage reached. Strategic Partnership Agreement registered. Land acquisition capital being structured. EU jurisdiction, clear milestone structure.

  • LOI received from institutional fund — active discussions
  • EU regulatory jurisdiction — familiar framework
  • Milestone gates: grid study → land → EIA → permits → build
  • Romania DC market: 19.93% CAGR through 2031
