This project is built or running, so every gate counts as passed.

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 Philippines approves, powers and taxes data centers is on Data center rules in Philippines.

Where it sits

Greater Manila holds 9 active projects with 517 MW of planned IT load between them, and A-FLOW ML1 ranks 6th by planned capacity. Of those, 6 are operational, 1 is at the land and permitting stage, 1 is announced only and 1 is on hold. Published colocation vacancy in Greater Manila was 43.6% as of June 2026, on 90 MW of operational colocation capacity as counted by Cushman & Wakefield. Vacancy excludes hyperscaler self-build.

It is the only A-FLOW project ArusGrid tracks. It sits on the A-FLOW Manila-Laguna campus. Named funding comes from Land Bank of the Philippines as debt and FLOW Digital Infrastructure and AyalaLand Logistics Holdings Corp.. No tenant has been disclosed, which is normal for colocation and says nothing about occupancy.

The build is phased. ML1 Phase 1 at 6 MW is operational with a 2025 target; ML2 / ML3 at 30 MW is announced. The dated record runs from under construction in December 2022 to operational on 28 November 2025. The money on record is PHP 10.8bn (about US$190m) as of July 2024, debt raised, which ArusGrid keeps out of capital totals. Power comes from Meralco through a dedicated substation at 115 kV.

Grid power for a large industrial user in the Philippines costs about US$0.12 per kWh as of July 2026, the country figure ArusGrid applies where a site has no published rate. The US export control position for advanced AI chips in the Philippines, as of 27 September 2026, is recorded as “No US destination-based licence requirement as enforced”. ArusGrid holds 8 public sources for this project, the latest dated 8 December 2025, and last checked the record on 21 October 2026.
