“Goodman has a stellar track record as one of the world’s biggest owners, developers and managers of industrial property, and along with our own expertise in operating state-of-the-art, carrier-neutral data centres, we are well-positioned to serve the growing needs in this market,” he adds.

The two new data centres will comprise 60,000 sq m of gross floor area, resulting in a development potential of 60 megawatts of IT power across the two buildings. This new data centre campus will be located within Goodman Business Park in Inzai City in the Greater Tokyo area.
Goodman Business Park is an integrated industrial and data centre estate with over 800,000 sq m of lettable area upon completion, with a value of more than A$4 billion ($3.94 billion)
Under this development and operating arrangement, Goodman Japan will develop the shell and core of the data centres and lease the buildings on a long-term basis to STT GDC. STT GDC will fit out and then operate the data centres, with the first building expected to be ready for service in 2Q2024.
“With power already secured, these new, carrier-neutral facilities are purpose-designed to meet the scalable capacity demands of hyperscale and enterprise customers looking for large scale facilities to meet growing requirements. With this, we are confident of bringing significant value to the Japan data centre market as we grow with our customers who are expanding their footprint into this market,” saysNicholas Toh, CEO – Northeast Asia at STT GDC/
STT GDC currently has a portfolio of over 130 data centres across Singapore, India, China, Thailand, and other key growth markets in the Asia region.
