Keppel Corp to co-develop green field data centre in Beijing for $292.0m

This marks the company’s sixth project in China’s data centre market.

Keppel Corporation, through its Data Centre Fund II LP (KDCF II), will be developing Huailai Data Centre in Greater Beijing, China into a greenfield data centre.

Huailai Data Centre will be Keppel's sixth project in China’s data centre market since entering it in 2020.

In a bourse filing, Keppel said it will jointly develop the asset with Heying, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Tianjin Zhengxin Group Co.

"KDCF II will acquire a majority stake in Huailai Data Centre and jointly develop the property with Heying," the company announced.

The project development will cost approximately $292.0m (RMB 1.4b).

Huailai Data Centre sits on a 3.3 hectares (ha) land plot that forms part of a larger data centre campus spanning 29.7ha.

After its development, the data centre will have a gross floor area (GFA) of 678,807 sq ft, which can fit more than 5,700 high-density racks and will hold the China Data Centre Class A GB-standard equivalent specifications.

For the data centre to consume 50% less energy, Keppel said it will also be fitted with indirect evaporative cooling (IDEC) systems.

Huailai Data Centre will be fully developed by the end of Q1 2023.

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
