Data center firm Ada Infrastructure has begun work on a second building at its Tokyo campus in Japan.
GLP Capital Partners, the asset manager of APAC real estate firm GLP, this week announced its data center unit has broken ground on the second building at the 31MW Tokyo West 1 (TKW1) campus.
The new four-story building will offer 10MW; the timeline for completion wasn’t shared.
GLP broke ground on the first building at the campus in August 2023. Set on a 3,400 sqm (36,600 sq ft) site, the three-story Building 1 is expected to be ready for service in 2025 and offers 10MW across 8,700 sqm (93,650 sq ft).
The company said the expansion was driven by increased demand from enterprise and hyperscale customers and will be configured to enable both air and liquid cooling.
“We are pleased to celebrate the groundbreaking of our second building at Tokyo West 1 campus. The success of this project is the result of combining GLP Japan’s existing real estate portfolio and core capabilities in acquiring land for development with Ada Infrastructure’s team of data center industry experts,” said Yoshiyuki Chosa, president, Japan at GLP Capital Partners. “We will continue to leverage our expertise, scale, and synergies to provide data center customers with sustainable digital infrastructure.”
Singapore-based logistics-focused real estate firm has previously said it planned to invest ~$12 billion over the next five years to deliver 900MW of data center capacity in Japan. Across the country, the company is currently planning five campuses totaling 600MW; four in Tokyo (TKW1, TKW2, TKE1, and TKE2) and one in Osaka.
Osaka East 1 will offer 16MW from a single four-story building from 2026. Tokyo West 2 will offer 295MW across eight five-story buildings by 2026; Tokyo East 1 will offer 66MW across three four-story buildings by 2026; and Tokyo East 2 will offer 190MW across four four-story buildings from 2027.
Founded in 2009, GLP is a global investment manager in logistics, digital infrastructure, and related technologies. The company invested in Chinese data centers in 2018, and in 2019 acquired a 60 percent stake in local data center company Cloud-Tripod.
GLP launched the Ada brand last year for its data center developments across Europe, APAC, and South America.
In the UK, Ada said it is developing a 210MW campus in east London’s Docklands. The site will be ready for service in 2026 and will consist of three eight-story buildings.
The company is also planning two campuses in Brazil – Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo – totaling 100MW. Rio will offer 60MW across three single-story buildings from 2025, while São Paulo will offer 40MW across two single-story buildings from 2025.
