STACK Infrastructure Enters Malaysia’s Data Center Market

Singapore-headquartered STACK Infrastructure, the digital infrastructure partner to the world’s most innovative companies and a leading global developer and operator of data centers, on Tuesday said announced its entry into Malaysia, recognised as the fastest-growing data center market in Asia-Pacific​​ region.

The new 220MW campus in Johor Bahru’s Iskandar Puteri expands STACK’s footprint to the largest market in Southeast Asia, addressing the region’s increasing demand for hyperscale digital infrastructure​​.

Johor’s data center market is a premier destination for hyper-scalers, offering scalable power, strategic Southeast Asian connectivity, government-backed incentives, and competitive operating costs.

STACK’s 220MW flagship Johor Bahru campus spans 10.8 hectares and will feature two facilities totalling 1 million sq. ft., designed to support cloud and AI/ML workloads.

Scheduled for initial delivery in Q4 2026, the campus will be powered by TNB’s (Tenaga Nasional Berhad) 275kV infrastructure, supported by an on-site substation, to ensure scalable and reliable energy for sustained growth​.

STACK APAC CEO Preet Gona said that as part of their continued expansion across APAC, the Johor Bahru campus strengthens the company’s ability to meet clients’ strategic needs in both established and emerging Tier 1 markets, while fostering economic growth within the local community.

The first building, a 120 MW two-story data center with a multi-level external electrical yard, will be complemented by a second 100 MW facility. Engineered for maximum flexibility, both facilities offer various deployment models including shell, build-to-suit, and turnkey solutions to meet diverse client needs.

Located in an established data center park, 10 minutes from the Malaysia-Singapore border crossing, the campus features redundant points of entry and a fibre ring connectivity to multiple telco networks, ensuring seamless growth for innovators in this strategically important market.

Continued Growth in APAC

This milestone underscores the continued growth of STACK, the data center developer and operator, in the Asia-Pacific region, joining its established presence in the key Tier 1 markets of Australia, Japan, and South Korea.

With the flagship Johor Bahru campus, STACK advances its commitment to delivering flexible digital infrastructure, empowering hyperscale clients, and driving sustainable growth in high-growth markets throughout APAC.

STACK provides digital infrastructure to scale the world’s most innovative companies. With a client-first approach, STACK delivers a comprehensive suite of campus, build-to-suit, colocation, and powered shell solutions in the Americas, EMEA, and APAC regions.

With robust existing and flexible expansion capacity in the leading availability zones, STACK offers the scale and geographic reach that rapidly growing hyperscale and enterprise companies need, the company said in a statement.
