Vantage KUL2 Data Center Campus

Status: Phase 1 Operational / Under Construction (Ongoing)   |   Location: Cyberjaya, Selangor, Malaysia

Project Overview

The Vantage KUL2 Data Center Campus stands as a monumental pillar in Malaysia’s journey to becoming the premier digital hub of Southeast Asia. Strategically located on 35 acres in Cyberjaya, the nation's Silicon Valley, KUL2 is designed specifically to address the unprecedented demand for high-density computing driven by the global Artificial Intelligence (AI) explosion of 2024 and 2025. With a total planned investment of $3 billion USD, this project is one of the largest private sector infrastructure investments in the region’s history.

Technological Sophistication and AI Readiness
Unlike traditional data centers, the KUL2 campus is "AI-ready" from the ground up. Recognizing that AI workloads generate significantly higher heat than standard cloud applications, Vantage has implemented a closed-loop chilled water system that is fully compatible with liquid cooling technologies (including rear-door heat exchangers and direct-to-chip cooling). This ensures that hyperscale clients can deploy the latest GPU clusters (such as Nvidia’s Blackwell architecture) without thermal constraints. The campus features ten individual data center buildings, totaling over 2.7 million square feet, supported by a massive 500MVA dedicated on-site substation provided by Tenaga Nasional Berhad (TNB).

Sustainability and Environmental Impact
Vantage has committed to achieving Net Zero Carbon emissions by 2030, and KUL2 is a flagship for this initiative. The campus achieves an industry-leading Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE) target of 1.25 or lower. Innovative water-saving technologies and the use of solar panels to power non-critical areas (offices and amenities) highlight the developer's focus on ESG. Furthermore, the use of HVO (Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil) for backup generators is being explored to reduce the carbon footprint compared to traditional diesel.

Strategic Importance and Economic Impact
The launch of Phase 1 in December 2025 is a calculated response to the "spillover" effect from Singapore’s land and power constraints. Cyberjaya offers the perfect trifecta: stable power, high-speed fiber connectivity through 13 submarine cable landings, and a supportive regulatory environment via MDEC (Malaysia Digital Economy Corporation). The KUL2 project is expected to contribute significantly to Malaysia’s goal of a 22.6% GDP contribution from the digital economy.

By fostering a robust ecosystem of skilled local talent and providing the "backbone" for global cloud providers, KUL2 isn't just a building—it’s the engine room for the next generation of digital innovation in APAC. As of today, the facility is actively onboarding its first anchor tenants, marking a new era for the Cyberjaya tech corridor.
