Empyrion Digital enters Japan with 25MW AI-ready data centre

The construction of the data centre will commence in 2025.

Singapore-based data centre operator Empyrion Digital has signed an agreement to develop a 25MW AI-ready data centre (JP1) in Tokyo.

The JP1 Tokyo data centre will be built alongside an unnamed firm identified as "one of Japan’s largest diversified financial services groups", Empyrion Digital said in a press release.

It will be built in a "network dense location," the company said. Construction for the JP1 Tokyo data centre is expected to commence in 2025 and is targeted to be operational by late 2027.

Tokyo has been identified as a primary hub for data centre activities, with a current capacity of 904 MW, the Empyrion Digital said.

Its co-location market is projected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.2% from 2023 to 2028, reflecting significant expansion driven by increased demand for artificial intelligence (AI) and 5G deployments, cloud services, fintech, and e-commerce.

“With a proven track record of owning and operating an award-winning data centre in Singapore and the construction of our Korea KR1 data centre in Gangnam, Seoul, well underway, we are well-positioned to build on this Tokyo investment and capitalize on future opportunities in Tokyo and Osaka,” said Mark Fong, CEO of Empyrion Digital.

Empyrion Digital was launched by Seraya Partners in 2021 and currently operates a 7.7 MW data centre in Singapore.

It is also constructing a 29.4 MW data centre in Seoul, South Korea, with more markets under development.
