Singapore leads APAC data center investments as AI drives demand

APAC data center investment volumes reached $3.7b in YTD Q3 2024.

In YTD Q3 2024, Singapore led data center investments in APAC, followed by Australia and South Korea, JLL reported.

Overall, APAC data center investment volumes reached $3.7b (US$2.8b) during the period, exceeding full-year 2023 volumes.

According to JLL, data center operators continue to expand across the region to meet the rising data center demand which is fueled by AI.

In addition, JLL expects the industry to see more large developer-operator-investor platforms as investors actively look into joint ventures and M&A deals.

“Due to limited acquisition opportunities in stabilised assets available for a direct deal and limited expertise in construction and new development, institutional buyers are looking towards JVs and M&A,” JLL 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.
