ST Telemedia Global Data Centres (STT GDC) Philippines has announced that the first phase of operations for its highly anticipated STT Fairview 1 data center is on track to be ready for service by Q2 2025. Upon full completion, the STT Fairview campus will be the largest data center in the Philippines, with a total IT capacity of 124 Megawatts.
Designed to accelerate the nation’s digital transformation and meet the rising demand for artificial intelligence (AI) workloads, the STT Fairview campus is carrier-neutral and will feature seamless connectivity options while incorporating advanced energy-efficient technologies for sustainable operations.
“We remain committed to delivering on our project timelines. Last year, we projected that STT Fairview would be ready in the first part of 2025, and we are on schedule to deliver the initial capacity by Q2 2025,” said Carlo Malana, President and CEO of STT GDC Philippines.
STT GDC Philippines continues to see strong demand for its services, maintaining impressive capacity utilization despite recent expansions. This high level of utilization reflects strong market confidence and underscores the company’s ongoing commitment to serving its customers while attracting new ones.
AI is seen to contribute 12% or about US$92 billion to the Philippines’ GDP by 2030, according to the Department of Trade and Industry. Insights from Statista, meanwhile, forecast the AI industry in the country to grow in market size at a compound annual growth rate of 28.57%, reaching $3.5 billion by 2030, from the current $772 million.
Looking ahead, the company aims to leverage its expanded capacity to attract major cloud service providers, combining global expertise and deep local market knowledge.
As a joint venture between Globe, Ayala Corporation, and Singapore-based ST Telemedia Global Data Centres — which operates 95 data centers across 11 countries — STT GDC Philippines plays a critical role in the region’s digital infrastructure.
“Our designs are built around the current and future requirements of hyperscalers, and our ability to deliver on our commitments is underpinned by the ongoing development of local technical talent,” Malana added.
Sustainability is a key pillar of STT GDC Philippines’ growth strategy. The company integrates innovative technologies and practices to minimize environmental impact while enhancing operational efficiency and infrastructure resilience. This approach ensures that expansion efforts align with sustainability goals, attract investment, and create long-term value for stakeholders.
