FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE · 2 NOVEMBER 2026
Sourced off-market by Armason, who found both the site and the buyer
LONDON, 2 November 2026 – A live 5MW data centre in Coleraine, Northern Ireland, has changed hands off-market in under a month, in a notable transaction for Northern Ireland’s data centre sector. Armason Advisory Ltd (“Armason”), the data centre and power infrastructure advisory firm, sourced both the asset and the buyer and brokered the sale of Prescient Data Centre to Eryce, from LOI submission through to completion.
It paired a seller ready to leave the sector with a buyer that wanted to own capacity rather than rent it. Prescient’s owners were looking to exit the data centre space. Eryce was sourcing colocation capacity and chose instead to acquire a facility it can expand into a full AI campus. Armason identified the site, introduced the parties and supported the transaction through due diligence to completion.
“This deal shows demand for capacity driving sensible business decisions. Where capacity is available and a deal is there to be done, it can be, even if the traditional colocation route isn’t the desired approach. We work with neoclouds and AI labs on everything from GPUaaS and colocation to powered land builds and full data centre acquisitions, which gives us a unique view of the market.”
JORDAN MASON-HYDE, CEO, ARMASON ADVISORY
“I found them to be very professional and exceptionally knowledgeable about the data centre business. … they were attentive and worked expeditiously with both parties to ensure a transparent and stress-free transaction. … I can highly recommend Armason as a company, and both Jordan and Brett as operators.”
ROBERT FEENEY, MANAGING DIRECTOR, DATA CENTRES, ERYCE (PREVIOUSLY OPERATIONAL LEAD, PRESCIENT)
