The data center arm of UAE property conglomerate Damac has said it plans to achieve an IT capacity landbank of 6GW across 13 countries and more than 35 sites.

The Dubai-based firm said it is expanding in North America, Europe, Asia and the Middle East driven by an increasing demand for AI, cloud computing and digital infrastructure.

Damac Digital said it has broken ground on ten new sites in the last five months and expects eight to be operational by the end of the year.

The firm is targeting more than 700MW of operational capacity across 14 sites by Q1 2027 and 2GW by the end of Q1 2028.

Damac Digital said it has more than 600 employees on three continents across design, procurement, construction, operations, and other support functions teams.

It said it has already achieved operational capacity in Saudi Arabia and Thailand.

Its European markets include Spain, Italy, Greece, Turkey, and the Nordic region, where it is already building facilities.

In 2025, it announced the acquisition of Finnish data center developer Hyperco for an undisclosed amount.

In Asia, Damac Digital said it is also expanding in Thailand, Indonesia, Malaysia, and the Philippines.

US President Donald Trump announced last year that the company would be investing “at least $20 billion over a very short period of time” into US data centers.

Damac Digital, formerly known as Edgnex, was founded in 2021 by Hussain Sajwani and began operations with a 12MW campus in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

It says that more than 90 percent of its data centers are designed with liquid cooling infrastructure and are able to support high-density compute, cloud growth and national digital infrastructure.
