Brookfield plans AI data centers in London to meet demand
The Canadian asset manager is eyeing London's financial district as part of a sprawling $100 billion AI infrastructure push
Brookfield Asset Management is bringing its AI data center ambitions to London’s financial district, adding one of the world’s premier financial hubs to a global buildout that already spans Sweden, France, and beyond.
Brookfield launched a $100 billion AI infrastructure program back in November 2025, with $10 billion in equity commitments, anchored by partnerships with Nvidia and the Kuwait Investment Authority.
Brookfield’s Data4 platform now operates more than 30 data centers equipped for AI workloads, with major expansion commitments in Sweden and France. The Swedish project alone, located in Strängnäs, could attract up to $10 billion in investment. In France, Brookfield has pledged €20 billion over five years for AI-related assets.
In October 2025, Brookfield struck a $5 billion partnership with Bloom Energy for 1 GW of fuel cell power solutions for data centers, including facilities across Europe.
Sikander Rashid, Brookfield’s Global Head of AI Infrastructure and Head of Europe, framed the opportunity during London Tech Week in June 2026 by pointing to unprecedented demand for land, power, data centers, and compute resources.
The demand for land, power, data centers, and compute is unprecedented.
Brookfield has also been developing Radiant, an AI cloud platform built in partnership with Nvidia to provide GPU and compute services. Traditional data center operators like Equinix and Digital Realty lease space and power. Brookfield is aiming to sell GPU hours, model training capacity, and inference at scale.
Brookfield’s own projections point to trillions of dollars in global spending needed for digital and AI infrastructure over the coming years. Nvidia’s involvement and the Kuwait Investment Authority’s commitment provide institutional backing for the firm’s execution at scale.
It is worth noting that as of early July 2026, no confirmed projects specifically in the London financial district have been publicly announced. The London expansion appears to reflect broader corporate momentum rather than a specific confirmed development.
