US colocation giant Digital Realty announced a S$7 billion (US$5.48 billion) investment commitment in Singapore, with S$4.3 billion (US$3.37 billion) allocated for new data center developments. The company currently operates three facilities in Singapore—SIN10, SIN11, and SIN12—totaling 925,000 sq ft of colocation space and 70MW of capacity. Digital Realty first entered Singapore in 2010, acquiring a newly developed data center, and later launched SIN12 (50MW) in 2021 and redeveloped SIN11 (13MW) in 2016. The investment targets Singapore’s role as a critical AI inference hub in Asia Pacific, aiming to support secure, highly connected infrastructure for AI deployment at scale. The Singapore government, which imposed a moratorium on new data center developments in 2019, is now relaxing restrictions and has allocated 80MW of capacity to other operators like Equinix, GDS, Microsoft, and a consortium of AirTrunk and ByteDance in 2023. Digital Realty’s expansion aligns with Singapore’s push to allow up to 200MW of new capacity development.
