A data center and logistics park could be coming to Villena, Spain.

The developer of the industrial area Casa del Padre in Villena, L14 REIS, and the City Council of Villena recently presented the project. The Logistics Data Campus Villena aims to transform the Casa del Padre industrial area into a park for data centers, technology companies, and logistics operators.

The project could total more than 332,000 sqm (3.57 million sq ft).

According to the developer, work on the land is due to start imminently and is expected to be completed within two years, once the city council waives the direct management to be processed in the next ordinary plenary session.

The firm Q+C Arquitectura y Ciudad, based in Villena, as well as the legal and strategic consulting firm Pygmalion Group, are working with L14 REIS in this project.

"Villena offers very interesting opportunities in the development of new urban initiatives linked to its strategic position, the future connection with the Mediterranean Corridor, and the future proposal that involves the implementation of a dry port, and a logistics node linked to the trans-European rail network," said Javier Nicolás, lawyer representing the developer L14 REIS.

Villena is a city in Spain, in the Valencian Community. It is located between Albacete and Alicante, northeast of Murcia.

Nicolás added: "Every week, we are receiving interest from data center operators requesting information about this new initiative in Villena. We see that we are making good progress in terms of urban planning and that there is a lot of interest from the main players in the sector."

From the City Council, Mayor Fulgencio Cerdán, said the project starting was "good news."
