Digital Edge Singapore Holdings and Hulic Co Ltd have launched TYO7, a state-of-the-art data centre in central Tokyo. Situated in Nihonbashi, the facility is strategically located just one kilometre from Japan’s central network hub at Otemachi and less than 300 metres from Digital Edge’s existing TYO2 site. This marks Digital Edge’s seventh data centre in Tokyo and ninth in Japan, highlighting its expansion in Asia’s digital market.
TYO7 is designed to cater to the increasing demand for digital services in Japan, driven by the rapid adoption of cloud and AI technologies. The facility offers high power density colocation, direct access to multiple carriers and internet exchanges, and low-latency connectivity. John Freeman, CEO of Digital Edge, stated, “With TYO7, we are delivering a network-dense, sustainable, high-performance facility.”
The project also represents Hulic’s commitment to developing next-generation infrastructure in Tokyo. Takaya Maeda, President of Hulic, expressed satisfaction with the partnership, stating, “This facility not only addresses Japan’s growing digital infrastructure requirements but also sets a new standard for environmentally responsible development.”
TYO7 is on track to achieve LEED Silver certification, reflecting its energy-efficient design and commitment to reducing environmental impact. The facility underscores Digital Edge and Hulic’s shared goal of creating long-term value for customers and the Tokyo community.
