Cushman & Wakefield has announced a significant enhancement to its data centre leadership in the Asia Pacific region, as the market is expected to triple in size over the next five years. Andrew Green, Head of Data Centre Group, Asia Pacific, will lead an expanded team to deliver comprehensive data centre solutions, combining advisory, transactions, technical, and managed services under one platform.
The move comes as the region experiences a surge in demand for cloud and AI infrastructure, driven by rapid digital transformation. Green, based in Hong Kong, brings over 30 years of experience in real estate and digital infrastructure, positioning him to drive innovation and operational excellence. He leads a team of 250 specialists servicing clients across 12 markets.
Tom Gibson, President of Data Centre Group, Asia Pacific & EMEA, highlighted the importance of investing in talent to maintain high standards of service. “By harnessing collective expertise, we can meet evolving client needs and maintain our commitment to outstanding service across the region,” he stated.
According to Cushman & Wakefield’s report, ‘Six for 2026: Real Estate Trends to Watch in Asia Pacific’, the top four data centre markets—Australia, India, Japan, and Malaysia—are projected to grow at an average of 26% annually. This expansion is expected to increase their share of the region’s operational capacity from 38% to 52% by 2030. The report also notes emerging opportunities in Thailand and Vietnam due to power and water constraints in traditional locations.
