NED has announced the commencement of the first phase of its Alpha Campus, a US$350 million AI and cloud data centre campus in Netanya, Israel.
The facility aims to become one of Israel’s greenest computing hubs.
Developed in partnership with real estate developer Levinstein and with backing from UK-based data centre investment firm Goldacre, the LEED Gold-certified facility will span 35,000 sqm and provide 42MVA of power, with plans for future expansion. Goldacre aims to utilise its expertise from Kao Data to inform the development of NED’s new facility.
Located on Israel’s central Mediterranean coast, near Tel Aviv, the campus will enhance the region’s technology infrastructure, offering high availability and services for hyperscale and enterprise clients.
The Alpha Campus will provide AI-ready infrastructure to Israel, supporting AI and high-performance computing (HPC) workloads. The campus will feature cooling options, including direct liquid cooling (DLC) starting at 100kW per rack, in-row cooling and rear-door heat exchangers. Its fortified underground design will provide protection against physical and cyberthreats. Electra Limited will construct the campus, with operations expected to begin in 2027.
Daniel Efrati, CEO of NED, said: “The Alpha Campus represents a bold step forward for Israel’s digital infrastructure. As AI continues to drive innovation and economic growth, this facility will not only support the region’s technological needs but also serve as a global benchmark for sustainable and secure data centre design.”
