NFD Korea Plans 300MW Data Center Campus South of Seoul, Its Largest Project to Date
South Korean data center developer and consultancy firm NFD Korea is moving forward with plans to build a massive 300MW data center campus in Dangjin, a city located south of Seoul. The project, which the company says will be its largest to date, underscores the rapid expansion of digital infrastructure in the Asia Pacific region as demand for cloud computing and AI workloads surges.
The campus will span approximately 43,188 square meters (464,871 square feet) and consist of six data center buildings, each offering 50MW of capacity. According to a sponsored article on Asian real estate publication Mingtiandi, NFD has already secured construction permits and a power agreement with Korea Electric Power Corporation for the site. The company states on its website that groundbreaking is scheduled for the third quarter of this year, with completion expected by the fourth quarter of 2028. The facility’s IT load is projected to be 140MW.
NFD Korea, which stands for Next Frontier Drive Korea, is led by CEO Choi Jaewoo, who also founded South Korean data center developer DC Connects, an affiliate of NFD Korea. The company is actively developing several other projects across the country. Among them is an 80MW, 58,000 square meter (624,305 square feet) data center in Yongin City, developed in partnership with DC Connects, Seoul-based asset manager Wide Creek AMC, and investment firm Warburg Pincus. That trio broke ground on the campus in September 2025.
Additionally, NFD is developing a 40MW, 8,248 square meter (88,780 square feet) data center in Ansan, another city south of Seoul, with a target groundbreaking date in the first quarter of 2027. The company also lists two projects it has consulted on: a 40MW facility in Ansan that broke ground earlier this year, and a 20MW facility in southwestern Seoul that has been operational since October 2025.
The Dangjin campus represents a significant milestone for NFD Korea and highlights the growing importance of South Korea as a data center hub in Asia. With hyperscale capacity becoming increasingly critical for AI and enterprise applications, projects like this are expected to play a key role in meeting regional connectivity and computing demands.
