Australia’s hyperscale data center operator AirTrunk announced Friday the official opening of its new regional headquarters in Singapore, located at the Ocean Financial Center.

Marking a decade in Singapore, the new headquarters reinforces AirTrunk’s long-term growth plans and its view of Singapore as a key regional gateway and global digital infrastructure hub, the firm said in a statement.

Located within a BCA Green Mark Platinum Super Low Energy Building, the office reflects AirTrunk’s commitment to long-term talent investment in Singapore, housing senior executives and teams across design and innovation, development, operations, treasury, legal and corporate functions.

AirTrunk also expects strong growth in its workforce over the next several years as Singapore continues to serve as its Asia headquarters.

Since 2016, AirTrunk has committed several billion dollars of direct investment across three hyperscale facilities in Singapore totaling 180MW information technology (IT) load.

The firm issued a landmark S$2.25 billion ($1.76 billion) green loan to finance its second Singapore hyperscale data center, SGP2, in August 2025 which was Singapore’s largest-ever loan and green loan for a data center at that time.

“Singapore has been fundamental to AirTrunk’s growth over the past decade and remains central to our long-term Asia Pacific strategy. The launch of our new office signals our confidence in the country’s continued leadership in digital infrastructure and advanced AI ecosystems,

“As hyperscale demand continues to rise, we’re deepening our partnerships, investing in local talent and advancing sustainable operations to support the nation’s digital ambitions and the region’s growing infrastructure needs,” AirTrunk Founder and Chief Executive Officer Robin Khuda said.

It is noted that Singapore’s 2026 Budget reaffirmed the nation’s commitment to strengthening its digital foundations, including accelerating artificial intelligence (AI) adoption, enhancing digital trust, and building a resilient, high-performance compute environment.

Under the National AI Strategy 2.0 and the Government’s additional S$1 billion ($780 million) investment in AI research and development, demand for secure, locally hosted compute continues to rise.

This is driven by AI workloads that require low latency, strong governance frameworks and close integration with Singapore’s world-class research and talent ecosystem.

As one of Singapore’s largest hyperscale operators, AirTrunk said the firm is well positioned to support these national priorities.

It said its three data centers align with the Digital Connectivity Blueprint and Green Data Centre Roadmap, reinforcing Singapore’s role as a trusted, energy-efficient hub for advanced compute and digital infrastructure.

“AirTrunk’s decade long presence in Singapore, and its decision to establish its regional headquarters here, underscore Singapore’s role as a hub for global companies particularly in the technology sector,

“As global demand for AI and cloud services accelerates, we will continue to welcome companies like AirTrunk that are deepening their presence in Singapore and advancing research and innovation,” Singapore Economic Development Board Executive Vice President Pee Beng Kong said.
