NTT Secures Major 130MW Hyperscale Leases Across Key US Markets
December 5, 2025
In a significant move underscoring the intense demand for artificial intelligence-ready infrastructure, NTT Ltd.’s Global Data Centers division has signed a series of large-scale capacity leases totaling 130 megawatts with leading hyperscale cloud providers. The agreements highlight the critical role of established wholesale operators in supporting the massive power and space requirements of the AI boom.
The company announced this week that its Global Data Centers business unit has secured the agreements with unnamed “leading hyperscale cloud providers.” The leased capacity is distributed across NTT’s major campus locations in the strategic US markets of Chicago, Dallas, Phoenix, and Virginia. While the specific breakdown of power per site and the identity of the clients remain confidential, the collective 130MW commitment represents one of the more substantial publicly disclosed lease tranches in recent months.
Doug Adams, CEO and President of NTT Global Data Centers, stated, “These agreements reflect the trust our clients place in NTT Global Data Centers to deliver the scale, flexibility, and reliability required to power their digital transformation.” He directly linked the demand to AI adoption, adding, “As the adoption of AI accelerates, clients turn to us for advanced infrastructure capable of supporting compute-intensive AI workloads with speed, security and sustainability.”
The deal aligns with NTT’s aggressive global expansion strategy. The company, which operates over 150 facilities across 20 countries, has added more than 370MW of new IT capacity in the past year alone through ten new facility openings. It has committed to investing $10 billion in data center infrastructure through 2027, a plan that includes earlier land acquisitions for up to 1 gigawatt of future development in markets like Oregon and Arizona.
For the data center industry, transactions of this scale signal sustained, capital-intensive growth driven primarily by hyperscale and AI demand. It reinforces the trend of cloud giants securing massive, pre-committed capacity blocks in prime interconnection hubs to ensure they can rapidly scale to meet the computational needs of next-generation applications. NTT’s ability to secure such a large, multi-market commitment also demonstrates the competitive advantage of operators with a broad portfolio of scalable campuses in high-demand regions.
