SC Capital Partners Group (SCCP), a Singapore-based institutional real estate investment management firm, has commenced construction of a new data center in Osaka with 100MW of allocated power.

The firm said in a statement on last Friday that the first phase would have a total investment of approximately $600 million and has secured the necessary building permits in advance of the groundbreaking ceremony held on December 3, 2025.

The project marks a significant milestone for SCCP as it expands its presence into Japan’s Kansai region, underscoring the firm’s commitment and confidence in the country’s rapidly growing digital infrastructure sector.

Located on Nanko Island, Osaka, the facility has been allocated 100MW of power and is strategically situated with direct access to robust power infrastructure and major network routes, offering a prime location for hyperscale and enterprise users.

SCCP achieved highly competitive development costs for the project through disciplined structuring and early procurement.

The firm has also commenced pre-leasing discussions and has received strong interest from leading global cloud service providers and technology companies seeking scalable and
energy-efficient capacity in the region, supported by a strengthening rental market.

The facility is scheduled to commence operations in early 2028.

The project is supported by a consortium comprising an existing data center investment program that SCCP has with a wholly owned subsidiary of the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority (ADIA), a major Japanese real estate developer, and SCCP’s RECAP series of opportunistic real estate funds, reflecting sustained investor appetite for digital infrastructure investments in Asia Pacific.

All capital required for the development has been fully secured.

SC Zeus Data Centers, a vertically integrated data center platform subsidiary established by SCCP, will serve as the development manager and operating partner for the facility.

“We are among the few who have successfully broken ground in a prime location with secured power and a best-in-class design purpose-built for the artificial intelligence (AI) era, converting strategy into execution in a highly competitive data center market in Japan,” said Suchad Chiaranussati, Chairman and Founder of SC Capital Partners Group.

“Japan continues to stand out as one of the most resilient and rapidly growing digital economies globally, underpinned by strong tenant demand, stable energy infrastructure, and
government initiatives,

“We are pleased to work alongside our partners to deliver this project, building on the strong momentum of global and regional data center growth,” he added.

SCCP is currently advancing additional data center developments and acquisitions in Japan, South Korea and other key Asia Pacific markets.
