KT Cloud Guro Hyperscale AI Data Center

Status: Under Construction Phase (Broke Ground February 2025)   |   Location: 166-2 Gaebong-dong, Guro-gu, Seoul 08274, South Korea

Project Overview

The KT Cloud Guro Data Center is a KRW 130 billion (approximately US$95 million) urban hyperscale digital infrastructure development located on a 3,354-square-meter site at 166-2 Gaebong-dong in Guro-gu, Seoul, South Korea. Developed by Capstone Asset Management and operated by KT Cloud, a leading South Korean cloud and digital infrastructure provider, the multi-story facility encompasses 19,225 square meters across four underground and eight above-ground levels. Its location within Seoul provides access to South Korea’s largest metropolitan business market, established telecommunications networks, and a dense concentration of technology companies and enterprise customers. The facility is positioned to support growing demand for cloud computing, colocation, data storage, and digital services as businesses accelerate their digital transformation initiatives. Its vertical design makes use of a relatively compact urban site, reflecting the importance of space-efficient development in densely populated metropolitan markets where land availability can constrain large-scale infrastructure projects. As organizations increasingly deploy artificial intelligence (AI), data analytics, and other data-intensive applications, reliable data center capacity is becoming essential for maintaining application performance and business continuity. KT Cloud’s operational role connects the development with South Korea’s broader cloud ecosystem, potentially serving enterprises that require scalable computing infrastructure and dependable digital services. The project also illustrates the involvement of institutional real estate investment in developing specialized digital infrastructure assets. However, its long-term operating performance will depend on factors including available power capacity, cooling efficiency, network connectivity, and customer demand. With Seoul remaining a major center for South Korea’s technology and commercial activity, the KT Cloud Guro Data Center can contribute to the city’s expanding digital infrastructure landscape. Its development highlights how multi-story data centers can accommodate growing computing requirements within established urban environments while supporting the country’s wider cloud and digital economy.
