HELSINKI – NYAB Finland Oy has signed a project management contract with Compute Nordic Finland Oy for the development of a large‑scale data center in Mikkeli, Finland.
The planning and design phase of the assignment will commence immediately, during which the project’s construction schedule will be finalized. If construction work is commissioned, earthworks are expected to begin in March 2026.
The value of the assignment will be determined following completion of the planning and design phase. Any construction work are commissioned through separate client orders under the contract. The scope will be confirmed stepwise through the client’s ordering process and, depending on the extent of such orders, the total value of construction work under the contract could amount to approximately EUR 100 million.
