Data room for data centre deals

Short answerData centre deals turn on power, customers and technical resilience. The data room needs power supply contracts, customer agreements, technical due diligence, permits and, for new Singapore capacity, the terms of IMDA's allocation process.

How it works in Singapore

Singapore is a major data centre hub, but new capacity has been limited since a moratorium in 2019, followed by selective allocation through IMDA and EDB calls for application with strict sustainability criteria. Many operators expand in Johor and Batam alongside Singapore.

Buyers include infrastructure funds, REITs and global operators.
