Vantage Data Centers 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 (ADIA).

The funding has also enabled the company to close its acquisition of Yondr Group’s more than 300MW hyperscale campus in Sedenak Tech Park, Johor, Malaysia.

The deal, first announced in September, accelerates Vantage’s regional expansion and increases its APAC platform to 1GW of operational and planned IT capacity across Australia, Malaysia, Japan, Taiwan and Hong Kong.

The new Johor site becomes Vantage’s third campus in Malaysia and significantly strengthens its ability to serve hyperscale, AI and cloud customers seeking capacity near Singapore and other fast-growing Southeast Asian markets.

“DigitalBridge’s vision and long-standing investment, now bolstered by new commitments from anchor investors GIC and ADIA, will drive our continued growth and expansion in the region,” said Jeremy Deutsch, president of Vantage Data Centers, APAC.

“Finalising the acquisition of this campus in Johor marks an important step in our growth strategy for 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.

“We’re thrilled to welcome more than 30 Yondr APAC team members into the Vantage APAC family. We look forward to their contributions as we expand and support our customers in the locations that matter most.”

Known as JHB1, the Johor campus spans nearly 73 acres and will deliver over 300MW of IT load across three data centres once fully developed.

Positioned within the Johor–Singapore Special Economic Zone, it offers strategic cross-border connectivity, including dark fibre routes to key hubs. The site was originally financed through a green loan and incorporates sustainability-focused technologies such as direct-to-chip liquid cooling, with development on track to meet EDGE certification.

The acquisition further cements Vantage’s presence in one of APAC’s most competitive and capacity-constrained data centre regions.
