Data Center
Vantage Data Centers has completed a $1.6 billion equity investment into its Asia-Pacific operations, the company announced, with the round led by an affiliate of GIC and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority (ADIA). A portion of the capital was used to close the acquisition of Yondr Group’s 300MW-plus hyperscale data center campus in Sedenak Tech Park, Johor, Malaysia.
The deal, first disclosed in September, expands Vantage’s Asia-Pacific platform to roughly 1 gigawatt of operational and planned IT capacity across Australia, Malaysia, Japan, Taiwan and Hong Kong. The newly acquired Johor facility becomes Vantage’s third campus in Malaysia and bolsters its geographic reach across the region, offering customers direct access to major Southeast Asian hubs including Singapore, Indonesia and Thailand.
Jeremy Deutsch, president of Vantage Data Centers for APAC, said the investment and acquisition represent a major milestone in the company’s regional strategy. “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,” Deutsch said. He added that bringing the Johor campus into Vantage’s portfolio allows the company to deliver “sustainable and scalable infrastructure for AI and cloud customers… at rapid speed and scale.”
The company also confirmed it will integrate more than 30 Yondr APAC employees into its regional organization as part of the transition.
The Johor campus, known as JHB1, spans nearly 73 acres and is expected to deliver more than 300MW of IT capacity across three data centers when fully developed. Located within the Johor-Singapore Special Economic Zone, the site offers strong connectivity advantages, including access to dark fiber routes and close proximity to regional network hubs. The facility was originally financed through a green loan and incorporates sustainability-oriented technologies such as direct-to-chip liquid cooling. Vantage said the campus remains on track to achieve EDGE certification.
The investment reinforces Vantage’s focus on building hyperscale-ready digital infrastructure to meet soaring demand for AI and cloud computing across Asia-Pacific—a region experiencing some of the fastest data center growth globally.
