BHX1, at The Garrison Technology Park near Birmingham city centre, has changed hands several times since Pure Data Centres Group originally developed it: ownership passed to GPS Data Centres, then to Proximity Data Centres in 2022, and to nLighten following its 2023 acquisition of Proximity. The 930 sqm facility is designed to Uptime Institute Tier III standards and holds ISO 27001 information-security certification. Cabinets range from 2-7 kW up to 12 kW of standard air cooling, with rear-door liquid cooling available for AI and high-density deployments above 50 kW per rack. Published site-capacity figures vary across the operator's own materials — nLighten's live location page cites an end-state capacity of 9.6 MW, while a January 2025 datasheet for the same building cites 3.15 MW — and this catalog records the power figure as unconfirmed pending clarification from the operator rather than picking one.
