Stack has launched its first data center in Japan.

The company this week announced the completion of the first facility on its new 36MW flagship Tokyo campus.

Located in Greater Tokyo’s Inzai District, the building was developed in partnership with IPI Partners and Oaktree Capital Management.

Plans for the Tokyo site were first announced in early 2022. TOK01 was originally due to launch in Q4 2023.

The 2.3-hectare campus will feature two purpose-built 18MW buildings. Development of the second 18MW facility, TKY01B, is already underway.

“Our new Tokyo campus exemplifies Stack’s dedication to supporting the rapid growth and reliability needs of our clients in one of the largest and most competitive markets in the Asia Pacific region,” said Preet Gona, CEO, Stack APAC. “This facility not only reinforces our APAC portfolio but also exemplifies our strategic vision and leadership in pioneering next-generation digital infrastructure solutions that are both scalable and sustainable.”

Stack – launched by investment firm IPI Partners in early 2019 after merging former Infomart and T5 assets into a new wholesale colocation provider – announced plans to expand into APAC in October 2021.

The company is also developing an Osaka campus in partnership with ESR. As well as Japan, Stack’s APAC portfolio includes data centers in operation and development in Australia and Seoul.

“Congratulations for the opening of TKY01 project and welcome Stack Infrastructure to Inzai City,” said Kengo Fujishiro, mayor of Inzai. “We are looking forward to Stack and Inzai City collaborating as partners in developing a better local community and we sincerely hope that this facility will become a new symbol of Inzai, rooted in the local community.”

Stack owner IPI was acquired by Blue Owl Capital earlier this month.
