Princeton Digital Group (PDG) plans to increase its data center capacity in existing Asian markets by 200 percent. The company also announced the sale of five Indonesian data centers to Sinar Mas as part of a strategic shift toward larger hyperscale facilities.
Why it matters
This move signals a pivot from smaller enterprise operations toward the high-demand hyperscale sector driven by customer needs. The expansion into Australia and South Korea marks a broader push to scale infrastructure capacity across the Asia-Pacific region.
PDG currently operates 1.8 gigawatts of total capacity and holds a 400-megawatt retained hyperscale portfolio in Indonesia. The new Incheon project in South Korea represents a 48-megawatt investment cost of $700 million, targeting a national rollout capacity of 500 megawatts.
The players
Princeton Digital Group
An operator of 1.8 gigawatts of data center capacity across eight Asian markets now shifting toward hyperscale infrastructure.
Sinar Mas
A conglomerate that acquired five operational Indonesian data centers from Princeton Digital Group.
Stonepeak
An alternative investment firm that provided $1.3 billion in preferred equity to Princeton Digital Group.
The details
The company is transitioning its infrastructure model to accommodate hyperscale business—large-scale facilities designed for massive cloud and AI computing workloads. To support this, PDG is leveraging a capital base bolstered by $2.5 billion raised in 2025, including $1.3 billion in preferred equity from Stonepeak. Development is already underway at the 120-megawatt JC3 campus, which serves as a benchmark for its regional capacity scaling efforts.
Timeline
2019: PDG entered the Indonesian market.
2025: PDG raised $2.5 billion in total capital.
November 2025: PDG entered South Korea and began construction on the JC3 development.
October 2026: PDG sold five Indonesian data centers to Sinar Mas.
2028: The Incheon campus is scheduled to enter service.
The Tech Race
PDG is repositioning itself to compete for high-density cloud demand by divesting mature assets. This strategy reflects a broader race among regional providers to scale infrastructure for massive, centralized hyperscale clients.
The transition to larger hyperscale campuses aims to increase compute density for cloud services across South Korea and Australia. Enterprise customers in these markets should anticipate improved capacity availability by 2028 when the Incheon project enters service.
The takeaway
PDG's move signifies a major pivot toward hyperscale-first infrastructure to capture surging cloud compute demand. Watch for the company's progress on its plan to raise up to $5 billion in debt this year, which will likely determine the speed of its Australian and South Korean rollouts.
