Empyrion Digital has announced today that it has signed a binding agreement with a major Japanese financial services group to develop a 25MW AI-ready data center in Tokyo. This marks Empyrion Digital’s first venture into the Japanese market.
The new data center, named JP1, will be strategically located in a network-dense area within 5km of Otemachi, the Internet Exchange and Tokyo CBD. The facility will span 21,000 square meters and will be designed to support Generative AI and High Performance Computing workloads.
Empyrion Digital’s CEO, Mr. Mark Fong, expressed his excitement about the company’s entry into the Japanese market. “Japan is a key market for digital innovation in Asia, and we are thrilled to contribute to its growth with JP1 in Tokyo,” he said.
The data center is expected to be operational by late 2027, and its construction is slated to begin in 2025. JP1 will be equipped with advanced cooling technologies to improve energy efficiency and reduce environmental impact.
This strategic move aligns with Empyrion Digital’s focus on expanding its presence in core Asian markets where demand for digital infrastructure is high but land and power resources are limited. The company’s partnership with a local financial services group will provide access to valuable networks and resources in the Japanese market.
