INTERXION HOLDING NV (NYSE: INXN), a leading European provider of carrier and cloud-neutral colocation data centre services, today announced new data centre builds in Amsterdam ("AMS10") and Frankfurt ("FRA14"), together with an expansion at the Science Park facility ("AMS9.2") and the acquisition of land and a building at the Schiphol-Rijk campus in Amsterdam. As a result of these land bank and build projects, Interxion (News - Alert) today announced an increase in its 2018 annual capital expenditure guidance to €365 million - €390 million.

"Interxion is continuing to see a strong flow of opportunities across markets and customer segments and we are increasing our expansion programme to address this demand," said David Ruberg, Interxion's Chief Executive Officer.

We are capturing deals from multiple customer segments, including connectivity, digital media, Cloud platforms and enterprises, and across the size spectrum. Of the announced phases in AMS9.2, AMS10 and FRA14, approximately 25% of the capacity is pre-sold."

AMS10 will be Interxion's tenth data centre in Amsterdam and will be adjacent to AMS8 on land owned by Interxion on its Schiphol-Rijk campus.
