Real Estate News

Goodman Group launches $4.1B data centre fund in Hong Kong

Driven by increased demand for data res, Goodman Group, Australia’s biggest REIT, has recently set up a $4.1 billion AUD unlisted fund, focusing on Hong Kong data centres. The fund currently includes six properties including two data centres under construction. Goodman holds a 20% stake while remaining equity is owned by institutional investors such as PGGM and a Middle Eastern Sovereign Wealth Fund. The assets are well placed within Hong Kong’s key data centre zones including Tsuen Wan West which is poised to become possibly the city’s largest digital infrastructure facility.

Usually known for managing logistics and warehouse facilities, Goodman Group has been shifting its focus toward data centres due to the growing demand for digital infrastructure, driven by the cloud computing and artificial intelligence expansion. Currently, HK’s data centre market has an approximate capacity of 1,420 MW with projections to reach 2,100 MW in the next five years - implying a CAGR of 8.18%. Moreover, HK serves as a critical connectivity hub in the Asia-Pacific region, acting as a connection between China and global networks. Hence, Goodman’s rationale is to enhance supply in high-demand markets such as Hong Kong.

In terms of broader market or sector impacts, competitors such as Equinix or GDS may potentially respond by accelerating their own development in locations within HK or similar Asian markets. With this investment demonstrating clear private sector confidence, the HK government may even be persuaded to further incentivise digital infrastructure development and streamline approvals.
