KUALA LUMPUR: AIMS Data Centre Sdn Bhd (AIMS), Malaysia’s largest homegrown data centre operator, has finalised the acquisition of approximately 10 acres of prime land in Cyberjaya from the tech hub developer, Cyberview Sdn Bhd.
The acquisition will pave the way for AIMS to develop a 200MW AI data centre with an investment amount of approximately RM4 billion, marking a decisive step in AIMS’ long-term landbank expansion strategy to strengthen Malaysia’s role as Southeast Asia’s premier digital infrastructure hub.
The newly acquired parcel will host AIMS’ next flagship ecosystem and hyperscale facility, with a planned capacity of up to 200MW (subject to final engineering confirmation).
This AI-ready data centre is scheduled for completion in 2027 and will be designed with state-of-the-art energy efficiency and sustainability features, ensuring best-in-class power usage efficiency (PUE) and water usage efficiency (WUE), in line with AIMS’ commitment to future-proof infrastructure and sustainable growth.
AIMS CEO Chiew Kok Hin said that this acquisition ensures AIMS remains ahead of demand while anchoring its footprint in Malaysia’s digital heartland.
“Beyond adding capacity to fuel the strong demand, we are investing in nation-building, from creating jobs and upskilling local talent to enabling Malaysia to serve as the home base for global cloud service providers, fintech players and AI innovators,” he said.
“With the government pushing toward an AI Nation by 2030, such infrastructure investments are indispensable. AIMS’ expansion supports the national target of 30 percent of GDP coming from the digital economy by 2030 and helps provide the compute backbone for AI, cloud, IoT and data-driven industries.”
Chiew was speaking after the signing ceremony of the Sale and Purchase (S&P) Agreement with Cyberview CEO, Kamarul Ariffin Abdul Samad, witnessed by Minister of Digital Gobind Singh Deo and Malaysia Digital Economy Corporation (MDEC) CEO Anuar Fariz Fadzil.
Gobind commended AIMS for proving that homegrown players can stand shoulder-to-shoulder with global giants, delivering world-class infrastructure while creating real opportunities for Malaysians.
“This is the kind of nation-building investment that aligns perfectly with our vision of an AI Nation by 2030,” said Gobind. “Investments like this ensure Malaysia remains competitive, resilient and future-ready by building the digital foundations needed to scale AI, strengthen our industries and create high-value opportunities for the rakyat.”
Meanwhile, Anuar said that Cyberjaya has long been the nucleus of Malaysia’s digital ecosystem, and AIMS’ continued expansion would further strengthen the nation’s position as the preferred regional hub for cloud, AI and digital services.
“This partnership is a strong demonstration of how the public and private sectors can work hand in hand to deliver infrastructure that not only attracts high-value foreign investment, but also empowers local talent and businesses to innovate, compete and thrive in the digital age,” said Anuar.
Since DigitalBridge’s entry in 2023 — via its acquisition of a stake in AIMS — AIMS has invested over RM2 billion to fuel Malaysia’s digital infrastructure build. This represents a substantial foreign direct investment into Malaysia, contributing to its GDP.
Today, AIMS commands one of the largest data centre footprints in Cyberjaya and the Klang Valley, serving as a key partner to hyperscalers, enterprises and regional cloud operators.
This acquisition builds on AIMS’ recent successes. In July 2025, AIMS announced the early completion of Cyberjaya Block 3, bringing its total potential capacity in the Klang Valley to over 100MW. That milestone underscores AIMS’ strategy of “building according to demand and not speculation.”
Cyberview’s Kamarul (left in pic) said: “Cyberview welcomes AIMS’ continued expansion in Cyberjaya, a development that strengthens the city’s role as Malaysia’s leading hub for digital growth and innovation.”
“As Cyberjaya’s Tech Hub Developer, we remain committed to building the right ecosystem components and infrastructure that enable high-impact investments like this, reinforcing Cyberjaya’s position as a city built for innovation and sustainable progress,” added Kamarul. The acquisition further reinforces Malaysia’s appeal as a strategic data centre destination, with its visionary leadership, competitive land and power costs, regulatory support and proximity to ASEAN markets.
“Importantly, the project is underpinned by solid public–private collaboration. The Ministry of Digital, MDEC, MIDA, Invest Selangor and local councils have been proactive in facilitating approvals, infrastructure support and coordination for smooth execution,” said Chiew.
“We would also like to thank the Ministry of Digital and these agencies for their unwavering support and clear policy direction, which have given investors the confidence to continue anchoring their growth in Malaysia. Their leadership ensures that projects such as ours not only move faster on the ground but also align with Malaysia’s overarching vision of becoming an AI Nation by 2030.”
Malaysia’s digital infrastructure momentum continues to accelerate, with AIMS Data Centre revealing that it has expanded its footprint by more than 300 per cent in the past two years amid rising demand for cloud, AI and regional connectivity.
AIMS Chief of Staff Jessie Lim (right in pic and with Digital Minister Gobind Singh Deo) said the homegrown operator has grown from a single Kuala Lumpur building and one Cyberjaya facility into a regional player with multiple central business district sites, three purpose-built data centres in Cyberjaya and a presence in Bangkok. Another Cyberjaya block is scheduled for completion by early January.
She added that the company’s rapid scale-up follows DigitalBridge’s investment into AIMS and its partnership with the TIME dotcom Berhad group, a combination that has strengthened AIMS’ ability to support hyperscalers, fintech companies, enterprises and regional cloud operators.
Jessie was speaking on the sidelines of the PIKOM Leadership Summit (LEAD 2025), Malaysia’s premier C-level conference bringing together visionary leaders, innovators and policymakers shaping the next era of digital transformation and cross-border collaboration.
The event was officiated by Digital Minister Gobind Singh Deo and supported by PIKOM Chairman Alex Loh, Deputy Chairman Alex Loh and LEAD 2025 Organising Chairperson Millie Yong.
Jessie said that AIMS’ growth strategy aligns closely with Malaysia’s national ambition to build homegrown digital champions and reinforce the country’s AI and cloud readiness.
“Malaysia is entering an era where digital capacity will determine economic competitiveness,” Jessie said. “As a homegrown operator, we take pride in contributing to that momentum by building infrastructure that is reliable, scalable and ready for the next wave of AI and cloud adoption.”
AIMS’ momentum was further reinforced earlier this year when it completed Cyberjaya Block 3 ahead of schedule, bringing its potential capacity in the Klang Valley to more than 100 MW. The milestone demonstrated strong market confidence and AIMS’ deliberate approach of building capacity based on confirmed demand rather than speculation.
Jessie explained that customer requirements are now emerging from the northern and southern regions in addition to the Klang Valley, prompting the company to study new domestic expansion opportunities.
AIMS’ participation at LEAD 2025 reflects the company’s commitment to working more closely with system integrators, cloud providers and enterprise partners as it broadens its managed services and enterprise solutions portfolio.
Jessie said that AIMS’ continued investments in Malaysia demonstrate strong confidence in the country’s competitive position as a preferred regional data centre destination, supported by collaborative public–private efforts, a deepening talent pool and government policies that prioritise digital growth.
“Our investments reflect a long-term belief in Malaysia’s potential as Southeast Asia’s digital hub,” she said. “When industry players and government agencies move in the same direction, it creates the confidence we need to build faster, expand responsibly and support more high-value jobs and innovation.”
AIMS, she said, remains focused on building reliable, sustainable and future-ready digital infrastructure that can support Malaysia’s rising cloud, AI and data-driven workloads and strengthen the country’s leadership in Southeast Asia’s digital economy.
