Princeton Digital Group Reaches Construction Milestone on Major Malaysian Data Center Campus

Princeton Digital Group Reaches Construction Milestone on Major Malaysian Data Center Campus December 10, 2025 The Asia Pacific data center market continues to expand rapidly, driven by surging demand for cloud services and artificial intelligence infrastructure. This growth is particularly concentrated in strategic hubs like the Singapore-Johor-Batam region, which is emerging as one of the world's fastest-growing markets for digital infrastructure. Against this backdrop, Princeton Digital Group (PDG), a leading Asia Pacific-focused data center operator, has announced a significant construction milestone for its flagship campus in Johor, Malaysia. The company has topped out the structural work on the third building of its JH1 campus, a facility designed for a total capacity of 200 megawatts (MW). Concurrently, PDG has broken ground on the construction of a fourth building at the same site, signaling continued aggressive expansion. The development of the JH1 campus is being executed in phases. The first phase, delivering 52MW of IT capacity, was completed in July 2024. The latest milestone indicates the campus's planned total capacity has been revised upward to 200MW, which is 50MW more than figures cited in the company's earlier announcements. This expansion underscores the strong market demand PDG is aiming to capture in the region. PDG's growth is backed by substantial financial support from major institutional investors. Private equity firm Warburg Pincus is its largest shareholder, with additional backing from the Ontario Teachers’ Pension Plan and Mubadala of the UAE. To fund its regional expansion, PDG secured $1.2 billion in debt financing in May 2025 and raised a further $1.3 billion from alternative investment firm Stonepeak in July 2025. The completion of the JH1 campus will significantly bolster PDG's footprint across the Asia Pacific, where it already operates data centers in Japan, India, Indonesia, China, South Korea, and the Singapore-Johor-Batam corridor. The progression of this large-scale project highlights Johor's increasing importance as a complementary data center hub to capacity-constrained Singapore, offering more land and power availability to meet the relentless needs of hyperscalers and enterprises.
