Hyperscalers at Sedenak Tech Park West (StepWest) are expected to start foundation works in 2026, with the first facilities potentially becoming operational around 2028, says Jland Group, its developer at a media briefing on IBTEC held in Johor Bahru recently. Companies already committed to StepWest include Microsoft’s US$147 million (S$190 million) land acquisition and Bridge Data Centres’ 400MW power agreement, with Jland targeting RM40 billion (US$ 9.8 billion) in new investments at StepWest over the next three years, its managing director, Akmal Ahmad reportedly said.
