DayOne, a Singapore-headquartered global digital infrastructure platform, and Imari City last week announced plans to develop a new data center campus at Imari City, Saga Prefecture, Japan, with 200MW of grid power.
Located on a site spanning 133,000 square meters within the Imari East Industrial Park, the campus will be developed in phases with the first phase targeted to be operational in 2030. The development includes 160MW of secured powered land, according to the firm’s press release.
The development is expected to support about 60 to 80 full-time roles once fully operational, in addition to local employment generated during its development, construction, and operation.
Located in Kyushu, Japan’s southernmost main island, the Imari campus expands DayOne’s Japan platform beyond Tokyo, and is close to major Asian markets. It is supported by Saga Prefecture and Imari City.
Jamie Khoo, Chief Executive Officer of DayOne, said, “Kyushu has the potential to become an important new location in Japan’s digital infrastructure landscape. The Imari campus brings together Kyushu’s regional advantages, the city’s forward-looking leadership, and DayOne’s experience in creating new digital infrastructure markets at scale. Working closely with Imari City, local partners, and the community, we intend to deliver the campus responsibly, build local capabilities, and create lasting value for Imari City, Saga Prefecture, and the wider region.”
