AirTrunk's first Malaysian hyperscale data centre in Johor Bahru, part of a Malaysia platform the operator says has expanded to more than 700 MW.

AirTrunk's entry into Malaysia opened on 30 July 2024 in Johor Bahru, only 18 months after the project was first announced. JHB1 is a flagship hyperscale campus of more than 150 MW on a 10.3-hectare site, offering 21,900 sqm of space across 20 data halls at full build-out; initial phases delivered over 50 MW to anchor technology customers. The facility services a major cloud availability zone and is wired for both domestic connectivity and international routes into neighbouring Singapore, letting hyperscalers extend Singapore-adjacent capacity without that market's power constraints. JHB1 was the springboard for a much larger commitment: with the subsequent JHB2, JHB3 and JHB4 campuses, AirTrunk's planned IT load in Malaysia exceeds 700 MW, backed by roughly MYR 27 billion (about US$6.8 billion) of committed investment. As a wholesale hyperscale build, it targets global cloud and large technology platforms rather than retail colocation buyers.
