Why it matters

The strategic read

Marks Ferrovial's move from building facilities for other operators into owning and leasing digital-infrastructure capacity directly. The €1B+ program adds a major new institutional developer to Madrid's constrained data-center market, with the first 60 MW phase already through key sector reviews and cleared to begin earthworks.
