The data centre will be located on an approximately 49-acre site within Sime Darby Property’s 1,500-acre Elmina Business Park, recognised as the largest freehold industrial park in Klang Valley. Elmina Business Park, an integral part of Sime Darby Property’s largest township, the City of Elmina, has been meticulously master-planned, establishing it as a leading industrial township since its launch in 2019.

Sime Darby Property and its flagship Elmina Business Park were selected based on strategic merits, including Sime Darby Property’s 50-year track record in large-scale integrated projects, the park’s robust infrastructure and prime location as well as Sime Darby Property’s financial strength, which assures long-term lease certainty.

In developing this mission-critical asset, the Group will holistically manage the design and development, infrastructure planning, and construction management, ensuring successful delivery of the facility customised to the multinational technology company’s specifications.

The project is set to break ground in the second quarter of 2024, with construction completion targeted for 2026. Following completion of construction, the parties will enter into a 20-year lease valued at up to RM2 billion, with options to renew for two additional five-year terms.

Dato’ Azmir Merican, Sime Darby Property’s Group Managing Director said, “We are excited to embark on our maiden entry into the data centre segment, which is rapidly emerging as an important asset class within real estate for which we are well-positioned to expand into. This project allows us to broaden our Investment & Asset Management portfolio, aligning with our SHIFT25 strategy to grow recurring income.”

Added Dato’ Azmir, “This facility will elevate Elmina Business Park’s status as a premier industrial location for technology corporations, both local and international. This achievement reflects the effort invested in its realisation. We would also like to acknowledge local municipal authorities, Government agencies, and utility providers who have supported us, as their contributions have been instrumental in advancing this project, which is of national significance.”
