Warehouses have assets for data centers: large volumes, serviced land, road access, business parks. With more inference and mid-size sites near cities, conversion is a serious option. But a warehouse is not a data center.
DOES YOUR SITUATION LOOK LIKE ONE OF THESE?
We want to convert an 8,000 m² logistics warehouse into a data center. Slab, clear height, power: will it work?A small 2 MW regional AI data center: what building to look for, and what power to check before visiting?We are a logistics developer and want to offer a powered shell to a data center operator. What must we secure first?

WHAT DECIDES
Feasibility in six questions
Power: which substation, what capacity, by when
Structure: slab loading, clear height, roof
Space for equipment: transformers, generators, outdoor cooling
Planning: permitted use, height, footprint, parking
ICPE and neighbours: noise, generators, distance to homes
Fibre: routes, carriers, latency

We run a short feasibility study that tells whether conversion is realistic, for what capacity, by when and with what works. See agentic AI and mid-size data centers and planning and permits.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Can a warehouse become a data center in France?
Often, if power is available, the slab and height are suitable and planning allows it. A feasibility study checks this before design.
