Digital Realty, a global provider of data center, colocation and interconnection solutions, has acquired land on a long-term ground lease to develop Digital Loyang II (SIN12) data center in Singapore, the company’s third facility in the high-growth market.
The acquired land parcel totals 12,800 square meters and is adjacent to Digital Realty’s second Singapore facility — Digital Loyang I (SIN11), located at Loyang Drive on the east side of Singapore. The new Digital Loyang II (SIN12) Singapore data center is expected to be fully operational by the third quarter of 2020, marking a significant expansion and further development of the Digital Realty Loyang connected campus.
The new data center in Loyang Drive will be located less than 25 kilometers from Singapore’s central business district and will provide up to 50 megawatts of critical power capacity to regional and global customers. The multi-story facility will offer a total footprint of 34,000 square meters (tk square feet) and will ultimately broaden opportunities for more international companies to expand their core digital assets into the key Singapore market.
“Digital transformation is set to contribute $10 billion to Singapore’s gross domestic product by 2021,” said Mark Smith, managing director APAC for Digital Realty. “With leading global technology companies increasingly looking to expand their digital footprint in Singapore, there is a significant opportunity for leading infrastructure providers like Digital Realty to provide the trusted foundation for the nation’s technology landscape.”
