Micrsofot Nusa Cemerlang Industrial Park

Microsoft is establishing a presence in the Nusa Cemerlang Industrial Park, located in Gelang Patah, Johor Bahru, Malaysia. The company acquired land totaling 22.548 acres for this development, with the transaction expected to finalize by the second quarter of 2027. This expansion into Johor positions Microsoft within a growing data center market, strategically located across the border from Singapore. Johor has become a significant hub for data center development, partly due to spillover from Singapore's market. Microsoft already operates an Azure cloud region in Singapore, established in 2010, and has plans for a Kuala Lumpur Azure region in Malaysia.
