（吉隆坡28日讯）马星集团（Mah Sing Group Bhd）与Bridge Data Centres Malaysia私人有限公司签署第二份合作协议，扩大在雪兰莪州万宜Southville City的Mah Sing DC Hub@Southville City联营数据中心项目。
该集团发布文告指出，根据最新合作，双方将开发与最初土地相邻的更多地块，面积为35.68英亩（14.44公顷），预计将提供200兆瓦的容量。
今年早些时候，马星在Southville City预留150英亩地库用于开发一个数据中心枢纽，规划容量高达500兆瓦。
5月份，马星与Bridge Data Centres签署第一份联营协议，开发17.55英亩地，规划容量高达100兆瓦。加上这项最新联营，Mah Sing DC Hub@Southville City如今的规划容量将达300兆瓦。
数据中心第一期工程包括17.55和35.68英亩的地块，预计将于2026年投入营运。Bridge Data Centres将主导第一期的设计、建设与基础设施开发。
马星创办人兼集团董事经理丹斯里梁海金表示：“此次合作彰显了马星致力于建设尖端数字基础设施。我们的30年快速项目执行记录，使我们成为寻求快速投入和可扩展数据中心业者的理想合作伙伴。这只是马星塑造大马数字未来众多机会的开始。”
Bridge Data Centres总执行长范辛越说：“我们很高兴扩大与马星的合作，这将大大提高Bridge Data Centres在大马的容量资源，并进一步巩固Bridge Data Centres作为区域领先数据中心提供商，对大马数字基础设施进行投资的承诺，同时始终如一地为客户提供卓越服务。”
Mah Sing DC Hub@Southville City距离现有的赛城和武吉加里尔数据中心数据只有20公里。此外，距离马电讯（Telekom Malaysia Bhd）即将在雪州摩立（Morib）建设的新电缆登陆站不到50公里，使其能够为数据中心枢纽提供暗光纤网络。
KUALA LUMPUR (Oct 28): Mah Sing Group Bhdhas signed a second partnership with Bridge Data Centres Malaysia Sdn Bhd, a company wholly owned by Bain Capital, to expand a joint-venture (JV) data centre project named Mah Sing DC Hub@Southville City at the Southville City township in Bangi, Selangor.
A press statement on Monday said the latest partnership will see the two parties developing additional plots of land adjacent to the initial one. The plots span 35.68 acres (14.44 hectares) and are poised to offer 200MW of power capacity.
Earlier this year, the developer earmarked 150 acres of land bank at Southville City for the development of a data centre hub, with a planned capacity of up to 500MW. In May, Mah Sing signed its first JV with Bridge Data Centres to develop 17.55 acres of land, with a planned capacity of up to 100MW. Following the latest JV, Mah Sing DC Hub@Southville City will now have a total planned power capacity of 300MW.
The data centre’s first phase, including both the plots of 17.55 acres and 35.68 acres, is anticipated to commence operation by 2026. Bridge Data Centres will lead the design, construction and infrastructure development in the first phase.
Commenting on the partnership, Mah Sing founder and group managing director Tan Sri Leong Hoy Kum said, “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.”
Representing Bridge Data Centres, its chief executive officer Eric Fan said, “We are excited to expand our collaboration with Mah Sing, which significantly boosts Bridge Data Centre’s capacity resources in Malaysia. This partnership reinforces Bridge Data Centre’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.”
The Mah Sing DC Hub@Southville City is located within a 20km proximity to the existing data centre hubs of Cyberjaya and Bukit Jalil. Additionally, it is also less than 50km from Telekom Malaysia Bhd’s upcoming new cable landing station in Morib, Selangor, enabling it to provide a dark fibre network for the data centre hub.
