Singapore needs $1.8b to develop 124-MW data centre pipeline

Singapore ranks 10th in terms of capital required for development, behind Japan, India, and Australia.

Singapore will require $1.8b (US$1.45b) in capital investment to build out its 124-megawatt (MW) data centre development pipeline, Cushman & Wakefield said.

In its report, Cushman & Wakefield stated this represents only 1.2% of the total Asia Pacific pipeline.

Singapore ranks 10th in terms of capital required for development, behind Japan (US$35.44b), India (US$16.38b), and Australia (US$15.51b), Cushman & Wakefield said.

The total regional development pipeline is 12,452 MW, requiring $156.7b (US$116.2b) in investment to support the growing demand for data infrastructure.

Despite stringent government controls on data centre expansion, Singapore remains a key market for investors, Cushman & Wakefield highlighted.

Market participants are closely monitoring regulatory changes, with expectations of gradual capacity expansions in high-priority locations.

Whilst hyperscale data centre growth remains constrained by policy regulations, colocation and enterprise-driven demand continues to attract steady investment interest, the firm said.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
