Princeton Digital Group (PDG), one of Asia’s major data center providers, has announced the official launch of its TY1 campus in Japan. The US$ 1 billion facility is located in Saitama City, and has an IT capacity of 96MW.
In a press release PDG said that TY1 was purpose-built for high-performance AI computing. Located approximately 35 kilometers from central Tokyo, the facility delivers 140kw per rack of high-density capacity to support AI workloads, among the highest globally. Engineered specifically for next-generation AI, TY1 features PUE of <1.34 and is equipped with advanced liquid cooling technologies for efficient high-density computing.
Japan’s growing data center market, especially its hyperscale and AI-ready data centers require access to scalable land, reliable power, and robust connectivity, delivered by highly credible data center operators. Given how existing facilities in central and eastern Tokyo face significant constraints in these areas, PDG chose Saitama, as it is well positioned due to the availability of power and land, with strong connectivity to existing clusters.
“AI has reshaped the data center landscape, driving demand for advanced infrastructure across Asia. Our US$1 billion investment in TY1 demonstrates our commitment to Japan as part of our Pan-Asia growth strategy,” said Rangu Salgame, Chairman, Chief Executive Officer, and Co-Founder of PDG. “Saitama offers scalable resources that address constraints faced in traditional hubs. With industry-leading power density and sustainability, TY1 further strengthens PDG’s position as the partner of choice for hyperscalers deploying AI workloads in the region.”
PDG further said that this facility provides carrier-neutral connectivity to central and eastern Tokyo, Inzai, and key submarine cable landing stations, and features robust seismic resilience that exceeds Japan’s stringent earthquake standards. PDG has facilities across APAC in China, India, Indonesia, Japan, Malaysia and Singapore.
