租約還剩約7年，隨着在日本對生成式人工智能的需求和數據中心供應日益緊缺，中心的租金有望增長。
The acquisition marks Keppel DC REIT's entry into Japan, Asia's second-largest data centre hub, projected to grow over 10% annually from 2024 to 2028. Tokyo, which has an estimated operational IT load exceeding 1,000 megawatts, constitutes over 80% of Japan's total operational capacity.
