Brazilian operator Ascenty has launched a new data center in São Paulo.

The company this week announced the start of operations at the SPO05 data center in Greater São Paulo and the commencement of construction on SPO06, which will be located on the same campus.

SPO05, announced in July 2025, began operations following an investment of 300 million reais ($55m). SPO06, meanwhile, is scheduled to open in May 2027. The two facilities will add a total of 26MW to the campus.

The new facility will see an investment totaling around 600 million reais ($121.5m).

According to the company, the data centers were designed to meet everything from traditional corporate demands to high-density applications, including artificial intelligence solutions.

Marcos Siqueira, CRO and head of strategy at Ascenty, stated that the expansion reinforces the company’s long-term vision in Brazil, offering robust infrastructure ready for next-generation applications.

Founded in 2010, Ascenty is currently owned through a joint venture that was set up by Brookfield and Digital Realty in 2018 when they purchased the firm for $1.8bn.

The company has around 36 facilities, with 25 in operation and 11 under construction or development across Brazil, Chile, Mexico, and Colombia.

Ascenty last year announced plans for SPO07 and SPO08, two more data centers in the São Paulo area. Set to be built on a 47,430 sqm (510,530 sq ft) plot acquired in 2023, the two new facilities will offer 40MW of capacity and represent an investment of approximately R$1.5 billion ($275.3m).
