Ada Infrastructure has officially kicked off construction on the GRU10 campus, its first project in Brazil.The company this week held a groundbreaking ceremony for the first phase of the project, located in São Paulo, marking the company’s entry into the Latin American market.Located in the municipality of Franco da Rocha, in Greater São Paulo, the GRU10 campus will be built in phases and will feature two on-site substations. The first phase will see the construction of a data center building and a dedicated substation.Upon full completion, the campus will host up to three multi-story data center buildings, totaling up to 300MW.The project is designed to support cloud and artificial intelligence workloads—including machine learning and inference—as well as large-scale GPU deployments, segments experiencing growing demand among hyperscale customers seeking to expand their presence in Brazil and Latin America.Marcelo Mendes Szwarcwing, director for Latin America at Ada Infrastructure, highlighted the company’s focus on speed of delivery and operational flexibility. “This project reflects Ada Infrastructure’s long-term commitment to meeting the time-to-market needs of hyperscale customers, with a flexible, high-density, rack-ready delivery model in Brazil,” he said. “We are excited to begin the first phase and move closer to bringing this critical capacity online.”Ada is planning a second Brazilian campus, in Rio de Janeiro, totaling three single-story buildings and 50MW. It is reportedly set to go live next year.Launched by GLP in 2023 and acquired by Ares the following year, Ada has multiple large hyperscale development projects in development globally, with upwards of 1GW of capacity planned across nine campuses, in markets including London, Tokyo, Osaka, São Paulo, and Virginia.This piece was automatically translated from DCD's Brazilian site and edited by a member of DCD's editorial staff.
