UAE data center firm Edgnex is to build a data center in Bangkok, Thailand.
The Damac-owned firm officially announced this week plans for a two-building campus in the Rama 9 CBD area of the capital city.
The first phase of the 19,000 sqm (204,515 sq ft), multi-story, Tier III-quality campus is scheduled to be operational by 2026.
The first building will offer 10MW, followed by an additional 10MW in the second building.
Hussain Sajwani, founder and chairman of the Damac Group, said: "Our announcement and entry into Thailand comes at a strategic time, recognizing the increasing demand for reliable data infrastructure to drive the ambitions in Thailand and to foster a robust digital ecosystem. Across APAC and globally, we continue to look for fast-growing and promising markets where governments have a solid vision that aligns well with our own growth and vision as a business and as a Group."
UAE property firm Damac Group set up Edgnex (aka Damac Data Centres) in 2021. The company is building facilities in Saudi Arabia in Dammam and Riyadh, which will deliver 55MW by 2025.
Damac first announced plans to expand into APAC in October 2023; as well as a facility in Cyberjaya, Malaysia, the company is developing a 15MW data center in Jakarta, Indonesia.
Edgnex is also planning a data center in Amman, Jordan. Damac and Edgnex last year signed an agreement to build a data center and cable landing station at the new King Abdullah Economic City outside Jeddah in Saudi. The company is also developing a data center in Turkey in partnership with Vodafone.
