JLL has been appointed by Pure Data Centres Group, to provide integrated facilities management services at its brand-new Yas Island data centre in Abu Dhabi.
Pure’s new campus, its first facility in the UAE, provides 45MW of capability and transitioned into live operations in February 2025.
JLL’s hard FM and engineering services will comprise ongoing maintenance and support for Yas Island’s low-voltage and high-voltage electrical systems, including its uninterruptible power supplies, switchgear and HVO-powered generators, as well as its hybrid air and liquid cooling systems.
Additionally, JLL will be responsible for network and ICT management, alongside delivering front-of-house FM services, such as cleaning and landscaping.
The agreement follows JLL’s decision to strengthen its data centre services offering with the addition of three senior hires in its EMEA team after identifying a 742MW hyperscale construction boom in the region.
“We are delighted to have been appointed by Pure DC on the management and operation of Yas Island after working collaboratively with them to ensure that we align our service delivery model with their expectations,” said Jonathan Kinsey, EMEA Lead and Global Chair, Data Centre Solutions, JLL.
Dame Dawn Childs, CEO, Pure Data Centres Group, said: “We have appointed JLL to provide facilities management at Yas Island because it is a company which shares our values, approach and attitude – to always meet the required highest standards.
