Denver-based Vantage Data Centers, a global provider of hyperscale data center campuses, has completed a US$1.6-billion equity investment into its Asia-Pacific platform led by an affiliate of GIC and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority. Part of this capital was allocated to close the acquisition of Yondr Group’s 300-megawatt+ hyperscale data center campus located in Sedenak Tech Park, Johor, Malaysia.

Originally announced in September, the transaction expands Vantage’s regional platform to 1 gigawatt of operational and planned IT capacity across Australia, Malaysia, Japan, Taiwan and Hong Kong. The addition of the Johor campus represents Vantage’s third campus in Malaysia and strengthens its ability to serve customers with direct access to other key Asia-Pacific markets, including Singapore, Indonesia and Thailand.

“Finalizing the acquisition of this campus in Johor marks an important step in our growth strategy for APAC,” said Jeremy Deutsch, president of Vantage Data Centers, APAC. “We are bringing one of Southeast Asia’s largest and most advanced hyperscale campuses into our platform, enhancing our ability to deliver sustainable and scalable infrastructure for AI and cloud customers across the region at rapid speed and scale.”
