Bridge Data Centres MY07 is a data center project in Ulu Tiram, Malaysia, operated by Bridge Data Centres (Chindata/Bain). It is under construction. It is planned for 200 MW of IT load.
Record last checked against its sources on 22 October 2026.
Next gate to watch: Builder appointed.
Build odds is ArusGrid's reading of the public record, not a forecast, a rating or advice. It counts the gates this project has passed in public sources. Private progress does not show, a passed gate can be undone, and projects that pass every gate still stop. The method has not yet been tested against outcomes. How it works.
How Malaysia approves, powers and taxes data centers is on Data center rules in Malaysia.
Johor holds 43 active projects with 4,880 MW of planned IT load between them, and Bridge Data Centres MY07 ranks 9th by planned capacity. Of those, 3 are operational, 9 are operational and expanding, 11 are under construction, 1 is past financial close, 5 are at the land and permitting stage and 14 are announced only. Published colocation vacancy in Johor was 0.7% as of June 2026, on 897 MW of operational colocation capacity as counted by Cushman & Wakefield. Vacancy excludes hyperscaler self-build.
Bridge Data Centres has 5 others in Malaysia and 2 projects elsewhere in the dataset tracked by ArusGrid, including Bridge Data Centres MY06, Bridge Data Centres MY01/MY02 and Bridge Data Centres MY03. It sits on the BDC MY07 (Ulu Tiram/Plentong) campus. Named funding comes from Bain Capital on the equity side. The named user of the compute is ByteDance (reported, unconfirmed).
Power comes from Tenaga Nasional Berhad (TNB) through grid supply (reported, unconfirmed). Cooling uses reclaimed water from Johor Special Water / IWK (treated effluent from JB-Pelangi STP), BDC-operated Ulu Tiram water reclamation plant.
Grid power for a large industrial user in Malaysia costs about US$0.14 per kWh as of July 2025, the country figure ArusGrid applies where a site has no published rate. The US export control position for advanced AI chips in Malaysia, as of 27 September 2026, is recorded as “No US destination-based licence requirement as enforced”. ArusGrid holds 5 public sources for this project, the latest dated 11 August 2025, and last checked the record on 22 October 2026.
Construction or financing is evidenced, or several independent signals agree. The rules are fixed and published on the Methodology page.
Reaching this stage requires a dated construction source, which corroborates the project on its own.
ByteDance reported; 400MW grid ESA
A party to this project (its operator, that operator's group, a funder, or a confirmed client) is headquartered in China or Macau or has an ultimate parent there. US rules require a licence for advanced AI chips destined to such entities wherever they are located. This describes the rule and says nothing about whether a licence was sought, granted or refused. Criteria are published on the Methodology page.

No figure has been announced. This range is 200 MW of planned IT load times a published benchmark of US$11.37 per watt for Malaysia, plus or minus 15 percent, with 10 percent more at the top for liquid cooling because the project is AI-positioned. It covers the building and its mechanical and electrical plant. It excludes land, grid works, servers and fees.
Benchmark: Turner & Townsend Data Centre Construction Cost Index 2025, as reported by Data Storage Asia. An estimate is never added to any total on the site.
Platform capital spans several sites. It is never added to this project's own figure.
No published price band exists for Malaysia, and ArusGrid does not estimate from the regional benchmark alone. What was searched is listed on the Colo prices page.
