STACK Infrastructure has announced its entry into the Malaysian data center market with the development of a new 220MW campus in Johor Bahru. This move solidifies Malaysia’s position as a key player in the rapidly expanding Southeast Asian data center landscape.
The Johor Bahru campus, strategically located near the Singapore border, will comprise two facilities offering a combined 1 million square feet of space to support the growing demand for hyperscale infrastructure in the region. The campus will be powered by Tenaga Nasional Berhad’s 275kV infrastructure, ensuring reliable and scalable energy supply.
This announcement further underscores the significant growth of the Malaysian data center market, particularly in Johor. Factors such as government incentives, strategic connectivity, and competitive operating costs have attracted major players to the region.
While geopolitical and regulatory uncertainties remain, investors are increasingly recognizing Malaysia’s potential as a data center hub. This strategic land acquisition by STACK is indicative of the confidence major players have in the long-term growth prospects of the Malaysian market.
“As part of our continued expansion across APAC, our Johor Bahru campus strengthens our ability to meet clients’ strategic needs in both established and emerging Tier 1 markets, while fostering economic growth within the local community.” said Preet Gona, CEO, STACK APAC.
This is expected to be the first of many data center announcements in Malaysia this year as the country continues to solidify its position as a key player in the Southeast Asian data center landscape.
