Skanska signs a contract worth USD 1.2 billion (about SEK 11.2 billion) to build four new data centres in the southeastern United States. The company says the work is for an existing client and that the project is included in its US order bookings for the third quarter.
Both outlets describe the order as the largest single data-centre contract Skanska has announced. The Next Web adds that Skanska does not identify the customer. It also reports that the four facilities together cover around 75,000 square metres (about 808,000 square feet), while PR Newswire focuses on the contract value and the timing of its booking.
While PR Newswire emphasizes the financial terms and reporting line items, The Next Web provides additional detail on the size of the planned developments. Neither outlet indicates that the client’s identity is public or that there are changes to contract scope beyond building the four data centres.
