The site will have two buildings, covering 60,000 sqm in gross floor area. This is said to become the largest one in Thailand.

“The joint venture’s first data centre in Ramkhamhaeng is located in the centre of Bangkok, which will help develop seamless connectivity and ease of access to business communities. We expect a strong demand from banking and financial institutions, e-commerce players, global cloud operators, MNC’s and local corporates,” said Sopon Racharaksa, president of FPT.

The firms recently held a piling ceremony to start the first phase of development, which is scheduled to be completed in 2021.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

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.
