Key Takeaways
Digital Realty received a provisional 50-MW allocation for a new Singapore data center.
The Jurong Island facility will support AI inference, high-performance computing and digital workloads.
The project will expand Digital Realty's interconnected Singapore campus and PlatformDIGITAL ecosystem.
Digital Realty (DLR - Free Report) is strengthening its presence in Singapore after being selected under the country’s second Data Center Call for Application. The company received a provisional allocation of 50 megawatts of capacity to develop a new data center at Jurong Town Corporation’s low-carbon data center park on Jurong Island. The planned facility is expected to expand Digital Realty’s Singapore platform with AI-ready and sustainability-focused infrastructure.
The new facility should enhance Digital Realty’s ability to support rising demand for artificial intelligence inference, high-performance computing and enterprise digital workloads across the Asia-Pacific region. Singapore has been a key market for Digital Realty since 2010 and currently houses its regional headquarters, Global Command Center and three operational data centers with roughly 84 MW of combined capacity. The Jurong Island project will become the company’s fourth data center in the country.
Growing adoption of cloud services, digital platforms and enterprise data processing is driving demand for additional digital infrastructure. AI is adding to this momentum as enterprises increasingly require infrastructure located closer to users and corporate data. Once operational, the new data center is expected to connect customers with Digital Realty’s global PlatformDIGITAL ecosystem and expand its interconnected Singapore campus through ServiceFabric, supporting connectivity and workload deployment across multiple sites.
Final Outlook on DLR
Digital Realty appears well positioned to benefit from the continued expansion of AI, cloud computing and enterprise digital workloads. The planned addition of 50 MW of capacity in Singapore strengthens its presence in a strategically important Asia-Pacific market. The company’s established Singapore operations, global PlatformDIGITAL ecosystem and expanding interconnected campus reinforce its competitive position, supporting long-term growth opportunities.
Over the past three months, shares of this Zacks Rank #2 (Buy) company have gained 1.9% against the industry’s fall of 2.2%.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for LAMR’s 2026 FFO per share is pegged at $8.93, which indicates year-over-year growth of 8.1%.
The consensus estimate for OUT’s 2026 FFO per share has moved 3.4% upward over the past month to $2.32, calling for a rise of 16.6% year over year.
