AIMS To Build US$1bil 200MW AI Data Centre In Cyberjaya

AIMS Data Centre Sdn Bhd, Malaysia’s largest homegrown data centre operator, has completed the acquisition of about 10 acres of land in Cyberjaya from Cyberview Sdn Bhd to develop a 200MW AI data centre.

The project is estimated to cost US$1.01 billion (RM4 billion) and marks a key step in AIMS’ long-term landbank expansion strategy to strengthen Malaysia’s position as a leading digital infrastructure hub in Southeast Asia.

The newly acquired land will house AIMS’ next flagship hyperscale facility, with a planned capacity of up to 200MW, subject to final engineering confirmation. The AI-ready data centre is scheduled for completion in 2027 and will be designed with best-in-class power usage efficiency (PUE) and water usage efficiency (WUE), in line with AIMS’ sustainability goals.

AIMS chief executive officer Chiew Kok Hin said the acquisition positions the company ahead of rising demand while contributing to national development.

“Beyond adding capacity, we are investing in nation-building by creating jobs, upskilling talent and enabling Malaysia to serve as a base for global cloud providers, fintech companies and AI innovators,” he said.

AIMS noted that such infrastructure investments are critical as Malaysia moves towards becoming an AI Nation by 2030. The expansion supports the national goal of generating 30% of GDP from the digital economy by 2030 and provides the computing backbone for AI, cloud, IoT and data-driven industries.

The announcement was made following the signing of the sale and purchase agreement between Chiew and Cyberview chief executive officer Kamarul Ariffin Abdul Samad.

Digital Minister Gobind Singh Deo praised AIMS for demonstrating that homegrown companies can deliver world-class digital infrastructure while creating opportunities for Malaysians. He said the investment aligns with the government’s vision to build a competitive, resilient and future-ready AI-driven economy.

Malaysia Digital Economy Corporation (MDEC) chief executive officer Anuar Fariz said Cyberjaya has long been the centre of Malaysia’s digital ecosystem, and AIMS’ continued expansion would further strengthen the country’s appeal as a regional hub for cloud, AI and digital services.

Since DigitalBridge Group Inc acquired a 49% stake in AIMS Data Centre Holding Sdn Bhd for US$500 million (RM2 billion) in 2023, AIMS has invested more than RM2 billion to expand Malaysia’s digital infrastructure. TIME dotCom Bhd currently holds a 30% stake in AIMS, while DigitalBridge increased its ownership after converting preference shares in 2024.

AIMS has one of the largest data centre footprints in Cyberjaya and the Klang Valley and serves hyperscalers, enterprises and regional cloud operators. In July 2025, the company completed Cyberjaya Block 3 ahead of schedule, raising its total potential capacity in the Klang Valley to more than 100MW.

Cyberview’s Kamarul said AIMS’ expansion reinforces Cyberjaya’s role as Malaysia’s leading hub for digital growth and innovation, supported by a strong ecosystem for high-impact and sustainable investments.

AIMS added that the acquisition highlights Malaysia’s attractiveness as a data centre destination, supported by competitive land and power costs, regulatory support and proximity to ASEAN markets. The project is also backed by strong public-private collaboration involving the Ministry of Digital, MDEC, MIDA, Invest Selangor and local councils to ensure smooth execution.
