What happened: AirTrunk marks a decade in Singapore with new regional hub
Hyperscale data centre operator AirTrunk has opened a new regional headquarters in Singapore, marking ten years of operations in the country.
The office, located at the Ocean Financial Centre, serves as AirTrunk’s regional hub for Asia Pacific and the Middle East. The milestone highlights Singapore’s growing role as a gateway for digital infrastructure and cloud services in the region. The announcement was made in a press release published by the Singapore Economic Development Board.
The headquarters houses teams across design, development, operations, treasury, legal and corporate functions. It also includes collaborative workspaces and wellness zones designed to support a growing workforce.
Since entering Singapore in 2016, AirTrunk has invested several billion dollars in the country and developed three hyperscale data centres with a combined capacity of around 180 megawatts.
The company has also raised significant financing for its projects. In 2025, it issued a S$2.25 billion green loan to fund its second Singapore facility, SGP2, which was the largest data centre green loan in the country at the time.

Why this is important
The new headquarters reflects the growing strategic importance of Southeast Asia in the global data centre market. Demand for hyperscale infrastructure is rising quickly as artificial intelligence workloads, cloud services and digital platforms require larger computing capacity and low-latency connectivity.
Singapore has positioned itself as a regional hub for these technologies. National initiatives such as the government’s National AI Strategy 2.0 and new investments in artificial intelligence research aim to strengthen the country’s computing capabilities and digital ecosystem.
Companies like AirTrunk play a key role in this strategy. Their hyperscale data centres support global cloud providers and large technology firms that rely on high-performance infrastructure to deliver services across Asia.
The sector is also attracting large financial commitments. Data centre platforms have become valuable infrastructure assets, illustrated by the A$24 billion acquisition of AirTrunk by Blackstone and CPPIB in 2024, one of the largest deals in the industry.
As AI adoption accelerates and digital services expand, demand for secure and energy-efficient data infrastructure will continue to grow. Singapore’s ability to attract investment from operators like AirTrunk reinforces its ambition to remain a trusted global node for advanced computing and cloud services.
