SC Capital Partners Group, a Singapore-based real estate investment management firm, has started construction on a state-of-the-art data centre in Osaka, Japan. The project, with an initial investment of approximately $600m, secured building permits ahead of its groundbreaking ceremony on 3 December 2025. This development highlights the firm’s commitment to Japan’s burgeoning digital infrastructure sector.
Located on Nanko Island, the facility is strategically positioned with 100MW of allocated power, offering direct access to robust power infrastructure and major network routes. This makes it an ideal location for hyperscale and enterprise users. SC Capital Partners has already begun pre-leasing discussions, attracting interest from global cloud service providers and technology companies seeking scalable and energy-efficient solutions.
The project is backed by a consortium, including a subsidiary of the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority, a major Japanese real estate developer, and SC Capital Partners’ RECAP series of real estate funds. All necessary capital for the development has been secured. SC Zeus Data Centres, a subsidiary of SC Capital Partners, will manage the development and operations of the facility, which is expected to commence operations in early 2028.
Suchad Chiaranussati, Chairman and Founder of SC Capital Partners, stated, “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 AI era.” The firm is also exploring further data centre developments in Japan, South Korea, and other key Asia Pacific markets.
