AIMS Data Centre Sdn Bhd (AIMS), one of Malaysia’s largest homegrown data center operators, has finalised the acquisition of approximately 10 acres of land in Cyberjaya from the tech hub developer, Cyberview Sdn Bhd. The acquisition will pave the way for AIMS to develop a 200 MW AI data center with an investment amount of approximately RM 4 billion.
In a press release, AIMS said that this marks “a decisive step” in AIMS’ long-term landbank expansion strategy to strengthen Malaysia’s role as Southeast Asia’s premier digital infrastructure hub. The newly acquired parcel will host AIMS’ next flagship ecosystem and hyperscale facility, with a planned capacity of up to 200MW (subject to final engineering confirmation). This AI-ready data center is scheduled for completion in 2027 and will be designed with energy efficiency and sustainability features.
Chiew Kok Hin (CEO, AIMS) said that this acquisition ensures AIMS remains ahead of demand while anchoring its footprint in Malaysia’s digital heartland. “Beyond adding capacity to fuel the strong demand, we are investing in nation-building, from creating jobs and upskilling local talent to enabling Malaysia to serve as the home base for global cloud service providers, fintech players and AI innovators,” he said. “With the government pushing toward an AI Nation by 2030, such infrastructure investments are indispensable. AIMS’ expansion supports the national target of 30 percent of GDP coming from the digital economy by 2030 and helps provide the compute backbone for AI, cloud, IoT and data-driven industries.”
Chiew was speaking after the signing ceremony of the Sale and Purchase (S&P) Agreement with Cyberview CEO, Kamarul Ariffin Abdul Samad, witnessed by Minister of Digital Gobind Singh Deo and Malaysia Digital Economy Corporation (MDEC) CEO Anuar Fariz Fadzil.
Gobind commended AIMS for proving that homegrown players can stand shoulder-to-shoulder with global giants, delivering world-class infrastructure while creating real opportunities for Malaysians. “This is the kind of nation-building investment that aligns perfectly with our vision of an AI Nation by 2030,” said Gobind. “Investments like this ensure Malaysia remains competitive, resilient and future-ready by building the digital foundations needed to scale AI, strengthen our industries and create high-value opportunities for the rakyat.”
Meanwhile, Anuar said that Cyberjaya has long been the nucleus of Malaysia’s digital ecosystem, and AIMS’ continued expansion would further strengthen the nation’s position as the preferred regional hub for cloud, AI and digital services. “This partnership is a strong demonstration of how the public and private sectors can work hand in hand to deliver infrastructure that not only attracts high-value foreign investment, but also empowers local talent and businesses to innovate, compete and thrive in the digital age,” said Anuar.
Since DigitalBridge’s entry in 2023 — via its acquisition of a stake in AIMS — AIMS has invested over RM2 billion to fuel Malaysia’s digital infrastructure build. This represents a substantial foreign direct investment into Malaysia, contributing to its GDP.
Today, AIMS’ data center footprint spans Cyberjaya and the Klang Valley, serving as a key partner to hyperscalers, enterprises and regional cloud operators. Readers would recall that in July 2025, AIMS had announced the early completion of Cyberjaya Block 3, bringing its total potential capacity in the Klang Valley to over 100MW.
Cyberview’s Kamarul said, “Cyberview welcomes AIMS’ continued expansion in Cyberjaya, a development that strengthens the city’s role as Malaysia’s leading hub for digital growth and innovation.” He further said, “As Cyberjaya’s Tech Hub Developer, we remain committed to building the right ecosystem components and infrastructure that enable high-impact investments like this, reinforcing Cyberjaya’s position as a city built for innovation and sustainable progress.”
The acquisition also aims to establish Malaysia’s appeal as a strategic data center destination, with its competitive land and power costs, regulatory support and proximity to ASEAN markets.
“Importantly, the project is underpinned by solid public–private collaboration. The Ministry of Digital, MDEC, MIDA, Invest Selangor and local councils have been proactive in facilitating approvals, infrastructure support and coordination for smooth execution,” said Chiew.
