CLI to develop first data centre in Japan with $944m investment

The data centre project will have a power capacity of 50MWs.

CapitaLand Investment (CLI) will develop its first data centre in Japan at the newly acquired freehold land parcel in Osaka.

CLI will invest over $944.3m for the data centre project with a power capacity of 50 megawatts.

The Osaka data centre will be equipped with artificial intelligence. It will be designed, built, and certified in accordance with Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design or an equivalent Japanese green-certification standard.

The facility will integrate energy-saving solutions such as advanced cooling technologies and adopt industry best practices in temperature management to enhance energy and water usage efficiency.

In addition, the data centre will utilise products with zero ozone depletion potential or with a global warming potential of less than 100 to minimise environmental impact.

“Major cloud service providers such as Amazon Web Services, Google Cloud, Microsoft Azure, and Oracle already have a presence in Osaka. Our acquisition is well-positioned to capture demand in Osaka’s established data centre cluster,” Manohar Khiatani, senior executive director of CLI said.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.


If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
