Few German facilities carry as much network history as Equinix FR5 at Kleyerstrasse 90 in Frankfurt West — the former ancotel carrier hotel that Equinix absorbed into its IBX platform, long a meeting point for international carriers entering the German market. It is a compact site by modern standards: listings report about 37,700 sq ft total with roughly 34,300 sq ft (around 3,200 sqm) of raised-floor space and access to 3 MW of power. What it offers instead of scale is reach — a deep carrier roster including AT&T and Hurricane Electric, plus direct connectivity to four cloud regions including AWS and Oracle Cloud, all inside Germany's principal carrier hub. The compliance set is broad: ISO 9001, 14001, 22301, 27001, 45001 and 50001, along with PCI DSS, SOC 1 Type 2 and SOC 2 Type 2. FR5 suits network operators, ISPs and enterprises that need dense interconnection and cross-connect ecosystems more than large contiguous footprints.

What the FR5 record does and does not tell a buyer
Equinix lists FR5 at Kleyerstrasse 90, Frankfurt am Main, in the Frankfurt West cluster that hosts the city’s densest carrier and internet-exchange interconnection. The sourced facility page describes FR5 as a network interconnection IBX rather than a bulk-power campus, so it is typically compared on cross-connect access and ecosystem rather than on megawatts.
The public record publishes nine certifications for the site — ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 22301, ISO 27001, ISO 45001, ISO 50001, PCI DSS, SOC 1 Type 2 and SOC 2 Type 2 — but no IT load, floor area or rate card. Undisclosed values stay undisclosed on Coloprice; nothing here is an estimate.
For a comparable quote, send FR5 and the neighbouring Frankfurt sites the same brief: cabinet count or committed kW, density, A/B power, carriers and Equinix Fabric ports needed, term, start date and expansion rights. Ask for cabinet or cage rent, power, electricity billing, cross-connects, installation and remote hands as separate lines.
- Address: Kleyerstrasse 90, Frankfurt am Main (Frankfurt West).
- Published: nine certifications; IT capacity and floor area are not disclosed by the operator.
- Interconnection-led IBX: price cross-connects and Fabric ports before cabinets.
