FLOW Digital Infrastructure Initiates Construction of Major Data Center Campus in Central Tokyo

FLOW Digital Infrastructure, the digital infrastructure arm of the Asia Pacific-focused investment firm PAG, has commenced the construction of a significant new data center campus in Central Tokyo. This new development will feature two buildings, designated TK7 and TK8, and is engineered to support a combined IT load of 30 megawatts.

This project emerges within the context of Japan’s rapidly expanding data center market, which is recognized as one of the largest tier 1 markets in the Asia Pacific region. The sector is experiencing substantial investment and robust growth, with projections indicating a 10.8% compound annual growth rate (CAGR) for the overall market through 2027. The hyperscale colocation segment in the Greater Tokyo area is anticipated to see even more accelerated expansion, with a five-year CAGR of 17% forecasted from 2024. This underscores Tokyo’s critical position in the global infrastructure for large-scale, high-capacity data processing.

The new FLOW campus is strategically positioned in Central Tokyo, in close proximity to the established data center hubs of Otemachi and Toyosu. Upon completion, it will represent one of the largest colocation facilities in the area, designed to bolster the digital ecosystem of Greater Tokyo. The facility aims to provide clients with flexible, scalable, and technologically advanced solutions to meet the escalating demands driven by Japan’s accelerating digital economy and the widespread adoption of artificial intelligence.

This development signifies a key milestone in FLOW’s strategic expansion across the Asia Pacific region and highlights the company’s dedicated focus on Japan as a priority market. The project is poised to address long-standing supply constraints and the complex demands of the Central Tokyo area, catering to the capacity requirements of both hyperscale and enterprise-level clients.

The addition of the TK7 and TK8 facilities will expand FLOW’s portfolio to a total of eleven assets across key Asian markets including Japan, Korea, the Philippines, and Malaysia, bringing its total current and planned IT capacity to over 170MW.

The first phase of the project, the TK7 building with a 6MW IT load, is targeted to be ready for service in the first quarter of 2027.
