SC Capital Partners Bets Big on Osaka Data Centre Growth
SC Capital Partners Group has begun construction on a 100-megawatt data centre campus in Osaka – a milestone that positions the Singapore-based investment manager to capture accelerating digital infrastructure growth in one of Asia’s most capacity-constrained markets.
The project’s first phase carries an investment of approximately $600 million and benefits from full building permits secured ahead of the groundbreaking, according to a media release issued by SC Capital Partners on Friday.
The Nanko Island site offers direct connectivity to major network routes and robust power infrastructure, making it an attractive proposition for hyperscale and enterprise tenants seeking scalable and energy-efficient solutions in Japan’s second-largest data centre hub.
Strong Market Fundamentals
SC Capital Partners has entered pre-leasing discussions with leading global cloud and technology providers, buoyed by a strengthening rental market and rising demand for AI-ready capacity.
The facility is scheduled to commence operations in early twenty twenty-eight, marking a timely addition to a region where supply lags digital consumption.
Fully Funded Through Global Institutional Capital
All capital required for the development has been secured. The project is backed by a consortium including a subsidiary of the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority, a major Japanese real estate developer, and the firm’s RECAP opportunistic funds series, signalling sustained institutional appetite for Asia Pacific digital infrastructure exposure.
SC Zeus Data Centers – the group’s dedicated development and operating arm – will oversee the project.
Core to Regional Expansion Strategy
Japan accounts for roughly seventy-five percent of SC Capital Partners’ nine billion US dollars in assets under management. While hospitality remains its largest exposure, data centres represent a rapidly expanding focus, alongside logistics, industrial and living sectors.
The firm is advancing additional digital infrastructure developments and acquisitions in Japan, South Korea and other key Asia Pacific markets.
As global cloud adoption accelerates and the AI economy expands, the Osaka development showcases a continued institutional pivot toward mission-critical real assets.
