KUALA LUMPUR: Mah Sing Group Bhd
has signed a second collaboration agreement with Bridge Data Centres (BDC), backed by Bain Capital, to expand the development at Mah Sing DC Hub@Southville City.
In a statement, the developer said the site covers approximately 36 acres and is set to provide a power capacity of 200 megawatts (MW), further reinforcing the hub’s significance in Malaysia’s digital infrastructure.
The 36 acres of land for this 200MW power capacity project has been valued at approximately RM311mil.
This new partnership follows the initial agreement signed in May 2024, raising the total planned power capacity to 300MW. The entire hub can support up to 500MW, positioning Southville City as a modern data centre hub. The first phase of the data centre is expected to be operational by 2026.
As part of this collaboration, BDC will provide a forfeitable deposit as both companies work towards finalising the joint venture agreement (JVA). This will include forming a joint venture company, defining share ratios, and executing the sale and purchase agreement (SPA) for the land.
BDC is actively working to secure hyperscale and AI data centre customers with robust financial backing. BDC will lead the design, construction, and infrastructure development to meet the specialised requirements of these high-capacity clients, ensuring that the project is fully aligned with the demands of the digital economy.
“This collaboration underscores Mah Sing’s commitment to building cutting-edge digital infrastructure. Our 30-year track record of rapid project execution makes us the ideal partner for data centre players seeking speed to market and scalability. This is just the beginning of many opportunities for Mah Sing to shape Malaysia’s digital future,” Mah Sing founder and group managing director Tan Sri Leong Hoy Kum said in the statement.
Meanwhile, BDC chief executive officer Eric Fan said: “We are excited to expand our collaboration with Mah Sing, which significantly boosts BDC’s capacity resources in Malaysia. This partnership reinforces BDC’s commitment to investing in Malaysia’s digital infrastructure as a leading data centre provider in the region, while consistently delivering exceptional service to our clients.”
