Powering a green AI future

Through a partnership with Levinstein, a prominent real estate developer, and with backing from UK-based Goldacre, a specialist data centre investment firm, NED is developing this state-of-the-art, LEED Gold-certified facility. The 35,000 sqm fortified campus will provide 42MVA of power, with plans for future expansion. Goldacre, also a major shareholder in UK-based Kao Data, a leading infrastructure owner and operator of data centres engineered for AI, hopes to build on its success, leveraging its expertise from Kao Data to shape the development of NED’s new facility.

Situated on Israel’s central Mediterranean coast, just 20km from the Tel Aviv metropolitan area, the Campus will strengthen the region's tech infrastructure, offering premier availability and services designed to meet the highest standards for hyperscale and enterprise clients, with whom negotiations are already underway.

The Alpha Campus will also bring state-of-the-art AI ready infrastructure to Israel for the first time, propelling the "Start-Up Nation" into a new era of AI-driven innovation. Israel, renowned for its clusters in biotech, agritech, cybersecurity, and machine learning, will benefit from this cutting-edge campus designed to support AI and high-performance computing (HPC) workloads.

Some of the Campus’s standout features include versatile cooling options, including direct liquid cooling (DLC) starting at 100kW per rack, in-row cooling, and rear-door heat exchangers for entire data halls. The Alpha Campus also has a fortified underground design that provides secure, protected infrastructure against physical (terror and missiles) and cyber threats, ensuring unparalleled reliability and resilience. Electra Limited will construct the campus, which is expected to become operational 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. At NED, we are proud to be at the forefront of building the critical infrastructure that powers the next generation of breakthroughs.”

Shelly Landsmann, Chair of NED’s Advisory Board, said: “Israel’s unique position as a link between three continents – Asia, Europe, and Africa – cements its status as a key connectivity market in the Middle East and a leading global tech hub. Campus Alpha is launching at a time when Tel Aviv is becoming a gateway of connectivity for the world. NED is enabling cutting-edge digital infrastructure to support innovation and growth on an international scale.”

Shaul Lotan, CEO of Levinstein Group, added: “This Campus not only meets growing data demands but also brings an AI-ready data centre to Israel’s tech sector.”
