NTT Data, a global digital business and technology services provider, has announced the acquisition of around 40 acres of land for data center development in Japan. This growth is part of NTT DATA’s previously announced US$10 billion investment aimed at expanding the business worldwide through 2027.
The company has acquired 32 acres in the Tochigi Inter Industrial Park near Tokyo, where it plans to build two high-capacity data centers totaling approximately 100MW. It has also acquired eight acres in Osaka Nishiai to develop two data centers, totaling 36MW. The first facility is slated to open in FY2027. This will bring NTT DATA’s total data center count in the Osaka region to three facilities with a total capacity of approximately 70MW.
NTT Data has also acquired land in North America, Europe and other parts of Asia over the past six months to support nearly a gigawatt of planned data center capacity. In a press release, the company said, “Over the past six months, NTT DATA acquired land across seven high-demand markets, positioning the company to deliver scalable, AI-ready infrastructure to meet growing enterprise needs.”
“Our land acquisitions are about more than growth; they’re about shaping the future of digital infrastructure on a global scale,” said Adams. “As the digital landscape evolves at unprecedented speed, NTT Global Data Centers is investing boldly to ensure our customers are ready to lead in an increasingly connected and dynamic world.”
In the United States, it has acquired land in Hillsborough, OR, where it plans to add 216MW to its existing infrastructure. Furthermore, it has acquired 174 acres in Mesa, Arizona to develop a new multi-data center campus, with seven planned facilities and an anticipated capacity of 324MW. The first data center is scheduled to open in FY2028. NTT DATA has an existing 102-acre campus supporting 240MW of capacity. The new campus will take the total planned capacity to just under 600MW.
In Europe, it has acquired land in Milan, Frankfurt and London. Over the past year, NTT Data has been steadily expanding its global footprint including opening 10 new data centers across North America, EMEA, and APAC and adding more than 370MW of new IT capacity.
