Vantage Data Centers, a global leader in hyperscale data centre campuses, is set to make a significant investment in Cyberjaya, Malaysia. The company recently signed an agreement with Cyberview at a high-profile event in the city, formalizing plans for a $3 billion data center campus known as KUL2. This development marks a major expansion of Vantage’s footprint in the region, signaling Cyberjaya’s growing importance as a hub for data centre infrastructure in Southeast Asia.
KUL2: A New Landmark in Cyberjaya
The KUL2 campus will span 35 acres and is set to become a cornerstone of Vantage’s operations in Malaysia. Once fully developed, the campus will house 10 buildings, offering up to 256MW of IT capacity and covering 2.76 million square feet (256,000 square meters). This ambitious project will also feature a 500MVA N+1 substation, provided by Tenaga National Berhad (TNB), ensuring robust and reliable power delivery to the facilities.
Vantage has announced that the first building on the KUL2 campus is expected to be operational by Q4 2025, though the precise location of the campus remains undisclosed. This expansion underscores Vantage’s commitment to supporting the growing demand for data center capacity in Malaysia and the broader Asia-Pacific region.
KUL1: The Foundation for Growth
The new KUL2 campus builds upon the success of Vantage’s existing presence in Cyberjaya. The current KUL1 campus, which spans six acres, will offer 31MW of capacity across four buildings upon completion. The first two buildings, CJ1 (KUL11) and CJ2 (KUL12), are already finished, with CJ3/Equinix KL1 (KUL13) 70% complete. Construction is also underway on the fourth building, CJ4 (KUL14), which will add an additional 16MW to the campus.
The KUL1 campus has been instrumental in establishing Vantage as a key player in Malaysia’s data centre landscape, providing high-density, scalable solutions to meet the needs of hyperscale cloud providers, large enterprises, and technology companies.
