leasing activity. As a result of this acquisition, we expect that IBM will be one of our three largest tenants, as measured by annualized rent.

The Geneva Data Center is an approximately 60,000 square foot building located in the Meyrin Industrial area and within close proximity to downtown Geneva. The three-story building underwent a major renovation in 2003, converting it to a mission critical data center. The property is 100% leased on a long term basis to a single tenant that provides web hosting and IT services for a customer base that includes major international financial services and consumer product companies.

The purchase price is 10.1 million Euros and the expected unleveraged cash cap rate on the Geneva Data Center acquisition is 9.0 percent.

“We believe that demand for technology and data center facilities will continue to grow in Europe as in the U.S., providing attractive investment opportunities for Digital Realty Trust. Our team of technology asset professionals is well positioned to expand our European operations through our relationships with technology tenants and the real estate community,” said Michael Foust, Chief Executive Officer of Digital Realty Trust. “The acquisition of the IBM Technology Park and the Geneva Data Center demonstrates Digital Realty Trust’s expanding investment program in Western Europe. Upon closing of these latest transactions, our European portfolio will contain four properties totaling over 1.7 million square feet in London, Frankfurt, Amsterdam, and Geneva.”
