- Support from Ministry of Digital, MDEC, MIDA & key agencies accelerate delivery
- AIMS has current total potential capacity in Klang Valley at over 100MW
AIMS Data Centre Sdn Bhd, Malaysia’s largest homegrown data centre operator, which operates data centres in Kuala Lumpur, Cyberjaya, and Bangkok, has finalised the acquisition of approximately 10 acres of land in Cyberjaya from Cyberview Sdn Bhd.
AIMS said the acquisition will pave the way for the development of an estimated US$1.01 billion (RM4 billion) 200MW AI data centre, marking a decisive step in AIMS’ long-term landbank expansion strategy to strengthen Malaysia’s role as Southeast Asia’s premier digital infrastructure hub.
The newly acquired parcel will host AIMS’ next flagship ecosystem and hyperscale facility, with a planned capacity of up to 200MW (subject to final engineering confirmation).
Scheduled for completion in 2027 the AI-ready data centre will be designed with best-in-class power usage efficiency (PUE) and water usage efficiency (WUE), in line with AIMS’ commitment to future-proof infrastructure and sustainable growth.
Chiew Kok Hin, AIMS CEO said this acquisition ensures AIMS remains ahead of demand.
“Beyond adding capacity to fuel the strong demand, we are investing in nation-building, from creating jobs and upskilling talent to enabling Malaysia to serve as the home base for global cloud service providers, fintech players and AI innovators.”
Such infrastructure investments are indispensable, said AIMS, especially with the Malaysian government pushing toward an AI Nation by 2030. “AIMS’ expansion supports the national target of 30% of GDP coming from the digital economy by 2030 and helps provide the compute backbone for AI, cloud, IoT and data-driven industries,” said Chiew speaking after the signing ceremony of the Sale and Purchase (S&P) Agreement with Kamarul Ariffin Abdul Samad, Cyberview CEO.
Gobind Singh Deo (left, pic below), Minister of Digital commended AIMS for proving that homegrown players can stand with global players, delivering world-class infrastructure while creating real opportunities for Malaysians.
“This is the kind of nation-building investment that aligns perfectly with our vision of an AI Nation by 2030, ensuring Malaysia remains competitive, resilient and future-ready by building the digital foundations needed to scale AI, strengthen our industries and create high-value opportunities for the rakyat,” said Gobind.
Anuar Fariz (right, pic), CEO of Malaysia Digital Economy Corporation said that Cyberjaya has long been the nucleus of Malaysia’s digital ecosystem, and AIMS’ continued expansion would further strengthen the nation’s position as the preferred regional hub for cloud, AI and digital services.
“This partnership is a strong demonstration of how the public and private sectors can work hand in hand to deliver infrastructure that not only attracts high-value foreign investment, but also empowers local talent and businesses to innovate, compete and thrive in the digital age.”
Since DigitalBridge Group Inc entry in 2023, via a 49% acquisition in AIMS Data Centre Holding Sdn Bhd for US$500 million (RM2 billion), AIMS said it has invested over RM2 billion to fuel Malaysia’s digital infrastructure build.
AIMS said it has one of the largest data centre footprints in Cyberjaya and the Klang Valley, serving as a key partner to hyperscalers, enterprises and regional cloud operators. In July 2025, AIMS announced the early completion of Cyberjaya Block 3, bringing its total potential capacity in the Klang Valley to over 100MW. That milestone underscores AIMS’ strategy of “building according to demand and not speculation.”
Kamarul said, “Cyberview welcomes AIMS’ continued expansion in Cyberjaya, a development that strengthens the city’s role as Malaysia’s leading hub for digital growth and innovation. As Cyberjaya’s tech hub developer, we remain committed to building the right ecosystem that enable high-impact investments like this, reinforcing Cyberjaya’s position as a city built for innovation and sustainable progress.”
The acquisition further reinforces Malaysia’s appeal as a strategic data centre destination, with its leadership, competitive land and power costs, regulatory support and proximity to ASEAN markets.
“Importantly, the project is underpinned by solid public–private collaboration. The Ministry of Digital, MDEC, MIDA, Invest Selangor and local councils have been proactive in facilitating approvals, infrastructure support and coordination for smooth execution,” said Chiew.
