Johor AI Data Centre — Plots B, C, D & E.

Four adjoining plots — 95.6 acres, 935 MW target IT load — in Phase 2 of an established Johor Bahru data-centre cluster, adjacent to a new 500 kV / 2.5 GW PMU.

Executive summary

A four-plot AI platform with a prospective anchor lease.

Plots B, C, D and E total approximately 95.6 acres and are positioned for a combined AI-focused IT load of 935 MW within Phase 2 of the established Johor Bahru data-centre cluster, directly adjacent to a new 500 kV Main Input Substation (PMU) under construction with a 2.5 GW allocation cap — one of the few remaining sites in Johor with credible, near-term large-scale power access following the tightening of state approvals.

Sponsor discussions are underway with a leading international server manufacturer and data-centre solutions provider as prospective anchor offtaker, contemplating a long-term pre-lease over approximately 30% of IT load on behalf of one of its end-client relationships. All plots are designed at 2,500 kg/m² for NVIDIA GB300 systems at 155 kW per rack, future-proofed for the Rubin, Rubin Ultra and Feynman generations.

Anchor offtake structure

A pre-lease that de-risks the first phase.

The proposed structure differs from a conventional speculative land play. A prospective anchor tenant — a leading international server manufacturer and data-centre solutions provider with an established Southeast Asian presence — would pre-sign a long-term lease over approximately 30% of IT load on behalf of one of its own end-client relationships, providing a partial, de-risked pre-lease to underpin the first phase of development ahead of a broader multi-tenant build-out across the remaining capacity.

The opportunity can be sequenced and capitalised in stages — land-to-RTB and RTB-to-powered-shell — allowing investors to size commitments to their risk appetite and to bring in follow-on capital as milestones (ESA, DCTF clearance, anchor lease execution) are met.

Why Johor

Singapore-spillover scale, with credible power.

Fastest-growing SEA market

Johor's total supply doubled to 5.8 GW within twelve months, with vacancy collapsing to 1.1% in H1 2025.

Singapore spillover hub

Sub-5 ms latency to Singapore enables a cross-border availability-zone strategy while avoiding Singapore's land and power constraints.

Power-secured site

Adjacent to a new 500 kV PMU under construction with a 2.5 GW allocation cap — one of the few remaining credible large-scale sites.

AI-ready engineering

Designed for 155 kW racks today with structural and cooling headroom for Rubin, Rubin Ultra and Feynman generations.

Permitted for DC use

KM (Kebenaran Merancang) zoning for data centre use; 27 m building height allowance with closed-loop cooling as design standard.

Defined acquisition path

Four-step pathway gated by vendor commercial terms, TNB power confirmation, and federal Data Centre Task Force review.
