STT Johor Campus is a data center project in Iskandar Puteri (Gelang Patah), Malaysia, operated by ST Telemedia Global Data Centres. It is under construction. It is planned for 166 MW of IT load.
Latest change on record: entered the record as under construction on 24 February 2025. Record last checked against its sources on 22 October 2026.
Next gate to watch: Tenant or own use.
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 STT Johor Campus ranks 12th 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.
STT GDC has 24 projects elsewhere in the dataset tracked by ArusGrid, including STT Jakarta 7 to 9 (future phases), STT Fairview (STT GDC 'Polaris' campus) and STT GDC Bengaluru Devanahalli campus. It sits on the STT Johor (Nusa Cemerlang) campus. Named funding comes from KKR and Singtel on the equity side and UOB Malaysia, OCBC, Standard Chartered and CIMB as debt. No tenant has been disclosed, which is normal for colocation and says nothing about occupancy.
The stage was recorded as under construction on 24 February 2025. Power comes from TNB through grid supply (reported, unconfirmed). Cooling uses air cooling, with a design PUE of 1.3.
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 11 public sources for this project, the latest dated 3 September 2026, 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.
HPC campus, liquid-cooling support (MIDA)
This country carries no US destination-based licence requirement for advanced AI chips as the rules are enforced today. Access is a commercial matter between the project and its vendors. Criteria are published on the Methodology page.

No tenant disclosed. Most colocation leases are confidential, so this says nothing about occupancy. Not yet checked against second-order sources.
No figure has been announced. This range is 166 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.
