Latham & Watkins has advised Digital Realty, the world’s largest provider of cloud and carrier-neutral data centre solutions, on its $100m investment into Digital Realty Bersama. This joint venture with Bersama Digital Infrastructure Asia aims to develop and operate data centres across Indonesia, enhancing the region’s digital infrastructure.
The legal team from Latham & Watkins was led by Singapore partner James Clayton-Payne and counsellor Penelope Davey, with support from Hong Kong associate Rita Hong and Singapore associates Cherine Teh and Shi Cheng Chong. The firm also provided US corporate advice through San Diego partner Ann Buckingham, and tax advice from Los Angeles partner Eric Cho and Century City partner Ana O’Brien.
Digital Realty Bersama currently operates a connected campus featuring two data centres: CGK11 in Central Jakarta and CGK10 in West Jakarta. The recently launched CGK11 initially offers 5 megawatts (MW) of IT load capacity, with plans to expand to 32MW. The venture is backed by major shareholders, including Provident Capital Partners, Saratoga Investama Sedaya, a Macquarie Asset Management-led consortium, and Distro Hub.
This strategic investment underscores Digital Realty’s commitment to expanding its footprint in Southeast Asia, a region experiencing rapid digital growth. The development of these data centres is expected to bolster Indonesia’s digital infrastructure, supporting the increasing demand for data services in the region.
