Singapore needs $1.8b to develop 124-MW data centre pipeline

Singapore ranks 10th in terms of capital required for development, behind Japan, India, and Australia.

Singapore will require $1.8b (US$1.45b) in capital investment to build out its 124-megawatt (MW) data centre development pipeline, Cushman & Wakefield said.

In its report, Cushman & Wakefield stated this represents only 1.2% of the total Asia Pacific pipeline.

Singapore ranks 10th in terms of capital required for development, behind Japan (US$35.44b), India (US$16.38b), and Australia (US$15.51b), Cushman & Wakefield said.

The total regional development pipeline is 12,452 MW, requiring $156.7b (US$116.2b) in investment to support the growing demand for data infrastructure.

Despite stringent government controls on data centre expansion, Singapore remains a key market for investors, Cushman & Wakefield highlighted.

Market participants are closely monitoring regulatory changes, with expectations of gradual capacity expansions in high-priority locations.

Whilst hyperscale data centre growth remains constrained by policy regulations, colocation and enterprise-driven demand continues to attract steady investment interest, the firm said.

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.
