The acquisition will give Digital Realty control of TelcoHub 1, a 1.5-megawatt operational facility that is one of Malaysia’s largest dark fibre interconnection hubs.
The data centre hosts more than 6,000 cores of regional and long-haul fibre and supports over 40 network service providers, including AWS, Google, MY IX, and DE-CIX ASEAN.
As part of the deal, Digital Realty will also acquire adjacent land with capacity to support up to 14 megawatts of IT load, allowing room for future expansion.
The transactions are expected to close in the first half of 2026, subject to customary conditions.
The expansion is expected to strengthen Digital Realty’s ability to support both Malaysian customers and regional companies with operations anchored in Singapore, by offering additional capacity and more connectivity options.
Digital Realty managing director and head of Asia Pacific, Serene Nah, said: “Malaysia plays an increasingly important role in the region’s digital ecosystem as hyperscalers, enterprises and platforms scale up, and infrastructure requirements evolve toward greater resilience, interconnection, and readiness for more complex workloads.
“Our entry into Malaysia will bring our global platform, operational expertise, and long-term investment approach into the local market, support the country’s digital ambitions, and help to shape how regional infrastructure is built for the future.”
Following completion of the acquisition, CSF Advisers chairman and CEO Billy Lee, along with the existing management team and more than 40 employees, will join Digital Realty.
The company said it plans to expand the local team over time to support future growth.
Lee said: “Malaysia is currently in a sustained scale-up phase for digital infrastructure, with total data centre capacity projected to grow from 1.26 gigawatts in 2025 to 2.53 gigawatts by 2030.
“We are excited to join Digital Realty and hope this acquisition will enhance our connectivity solutions for customers, support local talent development, and contribute to Malaysia’s maturing digital infrastructure ecosystem.”
