Digital infrastructure platform Equinix, Inc. (NASDAQ:EQIX) today announced plans for its latest data center in Singapore.

With an initial investment of US$260 million, the new facility–named SG6–will be Equinix’s sixth International Business Exchange (IBX) data center in Singapore.

This new high performance data center will feature a world-class, sustainability-driven design built to efficiently handle compute intensive workloads like AI, supported by capabilities such as advanced liquid cooling. SG6 will help deliver the critical digital infrastructure needed to enable AI capabilities across industries and in the region.

The new facility follows Equinix’s previously announced planned market entry into the Philippines in July and Thailand in October.

SG6 will feature both environmental and operational efficiencies, enabling customers and the country to achieve goals related to their digital evolution while supporting sustainability commitments, including those associated with the Green Plan 2030, a comprehensive national strategy in Singapore to achieve sustainable development, reduce carbon emissions, and enhance environmental resilience by 2030.

Expected to open in Q1 2027, the 9-story facility was awarded as part of Singapore’s pilot Data Centre – Call for Application (“DC-CFA”) and will provide 20MW when fully built. With an initial investment of US$260 million, SG6 will integrate into Equinix’s global network of 268 interconnected data centers (59 in Asia-Pacific) across 73 metros and 34 countries, delivering customers capacity, global reach, and seamless integration with additional interconnection and colocation services.

“Singapore is the region’s hub for innovation, making it a global magnet for multinational companies and pioneering businesses, and a key market for Equinix,” said Yee May Leong, Managing Director, Singapore, Equinix. “We expect that with the large demand for compute-intensive workloads, like AI, the demand for data center capacity will continue to rise, and Equinix is well equipped to support these next-generation workloads. By integrating the latest sustainability innovations, our new AI-ready data center can enable businesses to leverage next generation workloads responsibly and more sustainably.”
