Empyrion Digital has begun construction on a new data center in Taipei, marking its formal entry into the Taiwan market. The project reflects rising regional demand for cloud and AI infrastructure. At the same time, the move strengthens the Singapore-based developer’s expansion across Asia’s advanced digital economies.
AI-Ready Capacity Planned for Taipei’s Neihu District
The company is developing the data center, known as TW1, in Neihu, one of Taipei’s leading technology districts. Once completed, the facility will deliver 10 megawatts of power capacity, including 7 megawatts of scalable IT load. In addition, the design supports high-density computing. To achieve this, the company has integrated liquid-cooling readiness into the facility from the outset.
Moreover, Empyrion Digital has designed the site to support AI-driven workloads. The company expects the facility to enter service in the fourth quarter of 2027. As a result, TW1 will help address near-term and future infrastructure needs in Taiwan’s digital economy.
The five-story building will span approximately 4,260 square meters. Empyrion Digital has prioritized operational efficiency throughout the design. For example, the facility will use energy-efficient air-cooled systems to reduce water consumption. At the same time, liquid-cooling capability will allow the site to adapt as computing requirements evolve.
Sustainability Features Integrated Into Facility Design
Beyond performance, the project places a strong emphasis on sustainability. Empyrion Digital plans to install vertical green walls and rooftop solar panels at the site. In parallel, the development is targeting Taiwan’s Green Building Gold Certification. Additionally, the company is pursuing local partnerships to support renewable energy sourcing.
Mark Fong, chief executive officer of Empyrion Digital, said the start of construction marks a key milestone in the company’s regional growth strategy. He emphasized Taiwan’s strong digital economy and mature technology ecosystem. According to Fong, these factors make the market attractive for long-term investment. He also noted that the facility aims to deliver sustainable, AI-ready infrastructure while strengthening Taiwan’s role in Asia’s digital network.
Once operational, the Taipei data center will expand Empyrion Digital’s footprint in Developed Asia. It will complement the company’s existing facilities in Singapore and Seoul. Furthermore, it will join a recently announced project in Johor, Malaysia. Together, these assets will support growing demand for cloud, enterprise, and AI computing across the region.
