The "- Photos" in the title is misleading. It's artists renders and not photos.

Really impressive to see their growth. They're the #1 DC provider on the continent really!

From the article above those rendered images:

"Images of what the new data centre development will look like after it is completed are shown below.". There was nothing about photos in the title. It literally is what the DC will look like once completed.

To think they paid photo realistic prices for those renders.

“South Africa is strategically located at the tip of the African continent and as a result, is positioned as a technology and data centre hub for sub-Saharan Africa,” Hnizdo said.

Too bad, thanks to Eskom, SA doesn't have the electricity anymore to be positioned as a technology and data centre hub for sub-Saharan Africa.

Then again who needs electricity when you have an airline? lol!

Since when do any project look like the renderings.... Although in this case, its possible.

The renders form part of the architectural design. They didn't design these specifically for press releases.

Yeah, they just chucked the Archicad or Revit model in twinmotion or Lumion and gave it a bit of grass. Export. Done.

3000$ thank you.

Nice render - pity there is no forward thinking with solar panels on the roof.
