Hyperscale data centre operator AirTrunk has opened a new Asia regional headquarters in Singapore, marking a decade in the city-state and reinforcing its role as a base for expansion across the region’s fast-growing AI and digital infrastructure markets.
Located in Ocean Financial Centre, the new office will host teams covering development, operations, treasury and corporate functions, with the company planning to expand its Singapore workforce in the coming years.
Since entering Singapore in 2016, AirTrunk has developed three hyperscale data centres with a combined capacity of about 180MW of IT load, representing several billion dollars in investment. In 2025, the company also secured a S$2.25 billion green loan to finance its second Singapore facility, one of the largest green financings for a data centre project in the country.
Rising demand for artificial intelligence computing power is driving rapid expansion in hyperscale infrastructure. Singapore’s strong connectivity, stable business environment and concentration of global technology companies have made it a strategic location for regional AI infrastructure.
Government policy is reinforcing this trend. Singapore’s Budget 2026 and National AI Strategy 2.0 include additional investments in AI development, including S$1 billion for research and innovation, aimed at strengthening local computing capacity and digital trust frameworks.
Investor interest in the sector is also increasing. In 2024, Blackstone and the Canada Pension Plan Investment Board (CPPIB) acquired AirTrunk in a transaction valuing the company at more than A$24 billion, highlighting the growing importance of data centres as core digital infrastructure for the AI economy.
