Empyrion Digital Breaks Ground on First Data Center in Taiwan
January 13, 2026
Empyrion Digital, an Asia-Pacific data center developer, has commenced construction of its inaugural facility in Taiwan, marking a significant expansion into a key regional technology hub. The move underscores the growing demand for high-performance digital infrastructure across Asia, driven by cloud adoption, AI workloads, and the region's robust digital economy.
The company broke ground on the new data center, designated TW1, located in the Neihu district of Taipei. The five-story facility will span 4,260 square meters (approximately 45,854 square feet) and is designed to deliver 7 megawatts of IT load capacity. The site is engineered to support advanced liquid cooling technologies and will incorporate on-site solar power generation, aligning with industry trends towards sustainable and AI-ready infrastructure. The facility is scheduled to launch in the fourth quarter of 2027.
Mark Fong, CEO of Empyrion Digital, stated, “Breaking ground on TW1 is a significant milestone for Empyrion Digital as we continue to expand our footprint across Asia. Taiwan is a strategic market with a strong digital economy and a world-class technology ecosystem. This facility will deliver sustainable, AI-ready infrastructure that supports our customers’ growth and strengthens Taiwan’s position in the regional digital network.”
Empyrion Digital, launched in 2021 by Asian infrastructure investment fund Seraya Partners, is rapidly building its portfolio across the region. The company currently operates a 29.4MW self-built facility in Seoul, South Korea, and a 12.5MW data center in Singapore acquired in late 2021. Its development pipeline includes a 12MW project in Bangkok, Thailand, a 25MW facility in Tokyo, Japan, and a substantial 200MW campus planned in Johor, Malaysia.
The entry into Taiwan represents a strategic bet on the island's critical role in the global semiconductor and technology supply chains. The development is expected to provide crucial colocation and cloud connectivity services to both local enterprises and multinational corporations, further integrating Taiwan into the pan-Asian digital infrastructure landscape. Seraya Partners, which manages $1.3 billion in assets, has demonstrated a focused commitment to the digital infrastructure sector, recently launching a dedicated investment unit for the Japanese market.
