YIT and XTX Markets agree on interior finishing and building services contract for the second data center building in Kajaani

YIT and XTX Markets have signed an agreement for the interior finishing phase, building services engineering, and commissioning of the second data center building in Kajaani. The agreement follows the successful completion of the structure and envelope works for the facility. The parties have agreed not to disclose the value of the contract. 

Work is already underway, and the facility is expected to be completed in 2027. 

“We have had an excellent collaboration with XTX Markets, and we’re pleased to continue this successful partnership into the final construction phase of the second data centre. Building services engineering plays a central role in data center projects, and YIT has long-standing, strong expertise in delivering technically demanding solutions,” said Aleksi Laine, EVP of YIT’s Infrastructure segment. 

XTX Markets is a leading algorithmic trading firm that leverages advanced machine learning technologies to generate price forecasts for more than 50,000 financial instruments. The company selected Kajaani as the location for its state-of-the-art data center complex to secure its future high-performance computing capacity. In December 2024, YIT announced an agreement to build XTX Markets’ first data center in Kajaani, and in August 2025 the companies announced the start of construction on the second facility.
