Stuart Gibson, ESR Group Co-Founder and Co-CEO, said, “ESR Cosmosquare is a flagship project for ESR, and we are delighted to be working with CloudHQ to tap the immense data centre growth opportunities that exist in Japan. ESR has one of the largest real estate development teams in APAC, which enables us to leverage local market supply chain solutions and partnerships to deliver data centres on spec, on time, and on budget for the benefit of our data centre partners. Additionally, this partnership showcases the unique competitive advantage of ESR’s multi-model data centre platform in offering full flexibility to accommodate the diverse needs of our customers.”
ESR Group and data centre provider CloudHQ have entered into a joint venture on ESR’s US$2 billion Cosmosquare Data Centre campus in Nanko Kita, Osaka, Japan.
ESR and CloudHQ will jointly build, fit out, and operate the entire Cosmosquare Data Centre campus, which will deliver 130 megawatts of data centre capacity over three phases (OS1, OS2, and OS3). OS1 is ESR’s first data centre facility in Japan and will be ready for service in June 2025. Once fully fitted out, OS1 will provide customers with 25 MW of data centre capacity.
