Asia Pacific Land to invest US$850m in Kyushu data center
Asia Pacific Land is set to invest US$850m in a 120 megawatt data center in Kyushu in southern Japan. The city of Kitakyushu, where the center will be located, is an attractive location in Kyushu for data centers given its proximity to where undersea cables come ashore. Kitakyushu is also in the process of repositioning itself as an alternative "nerve" centre within Japan and planning to attract more corporate headquarters and government agencies to the area.
