Including assets in the REIT, it has 32 data centres in 10 countries with more than 2m sq. ft. of net leasable area. Apart from its listed REIT, it has two private funds exposed to data centres. The sponsor in ASEAN owns data centres in Johor in Malaysia, Bogor in Greater Jakarta and two data centres in Singapore.
Beyond data centre demand for its own need, we see potential for ASEAN to emerge as a hub for meeting broader Asian/global data centre needs. ASEAN is emerging as a favourable destination for data centres and subsea cable builds owing to its neutral geopolitical stance and US-China trade tensions.
According to the ASEAN Centre for Energy (2024), ASEAN currently has around 1.5 gigawatts (GW) of operational data center capacity, with more than 500 megawatts (MW) under construction and nearly 2 GW in the planning stage.
Compared with technologically advanced countries, ASEAN still faces a significant gap in data center infrastructure and investment, as highlighted by Maybank Research Pte Ltd (2024). The region currently has only 2.5 MW of data center capacity per one million people, while the United States has nearly 10 times more.
