DIGITAL REALTY TARGETS NEARLY S $ 7 BILLION INVESTMENT TO STRENGTHEN SINGAPORE AS ASIA PACIFIC AI HUB
Digital Realty, one of the world ' s largest cloud- and carrierneutral data centre platforms, has announced it is targeting nearly S $ 7 billion of total investment in Singapore, reinforcing the market ' s critical role as an AI infrastructure hub for Asia Pacific, with more than S $ 4.3 billion planned for new data centre developments, building on existing investments.
" Singapore is emerging as a critical hub for AI inference in Asia Pacific," said Serene Nah, Managing Director and Head of Asia Pacific, Digital Realty. " As organisations deploy AI in real-world environments, they need secure, highly connected infrastructure close to where data is created and consumed. This S $ 7 billion investment target demonstrates our confidence in Singapore ' s role as the region ' s AI infrastructure anchor. We ' re not just expanding capacity, we ' re building the operational capabilities, innovation facilities and local talent base needed to support customers as AI enters production at scale."
Digital Realty has nearly doubled its Singapore workforce over the past three years to 300 + employees and currently expects to grow to 400 by 2030, potentially creating more high-value jobs in digital infrastructure and emerging technologies. Nearly 90 % of the company ' s Singapore team are Singapore nationals, reflecting deep investment in workforce development and longterm capability building. To support this growth, Digital Realty relocated and expanded its Asia Pacific regional office within Singapore to IOI Central Boulevard in July 2025, with further expansion anticipated in 2026.
With its nearly S $ 7 billion investment target, expanded workforce and growing innovation capabilities, Digital Realty is well positioned to support Singapore ' s evolution as a leading AI infrastructure hub for Asia Pacific.
The company also plans to bring a second 1 MW data hall online in the second quarter of 2026, with a roadmap that will push total capacity at the carrier hotel beyond 10 MW.
This latest development comes at a critical time for the New York City market, where available data centre space and power remain constrained. Hudson IX’ s expansion introduces new capacity within one of the most highly interconnected carrier hotels in the US.
60 Hudson Street continues to serve as a central hub for colocation and connectivity, with more than 300 carriers and service providers present. Hudson IX is uniquely positioned within the building as one of the only operators currently bringing new capacity and surplus power to market – enabling customers to deploy infrastructure in close proximity to critical networks, partners and end-users.
Hudson InterXchange( Hudson IX), 60 Hudson Street’ s leading data centre provider, has a new 1 MW data hall ready for service and available for high-density colocation deployments in a constrained New York City market.

The new data hall is designed to support a broad range of customer requirements, including network providers, content delivery networks, cloud platforms, enterprises and financial services organisations. The facility can accommodate both standard and high-density deployments, including AI inference and other compute-intensive workloads. �
