Global provider of hyperscale data centers, Vantage Data Centers, today announced that it has completed the acquisition of Yondr Group’s 300MW hyperscale data center campus in Johor as part of its US$ 1.6 billion equity investment into its Asia-Pacific platform. The equity investment was led by an affiliate of GIC, a global institutional investor, and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority (“ADIA”). Part of this capital was allocated to close the Yondr campus located in Sedenak Tech Park, Johor, Malaysia. The securing of the deal was initially announced in September.
“DigitalBridge’s vision and long-standing investment, now bolstered by new commitments from anchor investors GIC and ADIA, will drive our continued growth and expansion in the region,” said Jeremy Deutsch, president of Vantage Data Centers, APAC. “Finalizing the acquisition of this campus in Johor marks an important step in our growth strategy for APAC. We are bringing one of Southeast Asia’s largest and most advanced hyperscale campuses into our platform. We’re thrilled to welcome more than 30 Yondr APAC team members into the Vantage APAC family.”
The Johor campus, JHB1, spans nearly 73 acres and will deliver more than 300MW of IT capacity across three data centers once fully developed. Located within the Johor-Singapore Special Economic Zone, JHB1 offers strategic connectivity with dark fiber routes and access to regional hubs. The campus was originally financed through a green loan and features sustainability-focused technologies, including direct-to-chip liquid cooling. It will be Vantage’s third campus in Malaysia and expands its regional platform to 1GW of operational and planned IT capacity across Australia, Malaysia, Japan, Taiwan and Hong Kong.
