Data Centres: Boom and BacklashBackground
MC Digital Realty is a Japanese data-centre company owned in equal halves by Digital Realty and Mitsubishi Corporation, which launched it in October 2017. Its seed assets were existing facilities in Osaka and in Mitaka, western Tokyo, together worth about ¥40 billion.
Work on KIX15 began on 7 October 2026. The 24 MW building is the fifth on the KIX campus, and the company expects to open it in the fourth quarter of 2028. Once it is running, MC Digital Realty will have ten data centres in Japan with about 220 MW of IT capacity.
Digital Realty has added capacity elsewhere in modest blocks too. In August 2026 Singapore provisionally allocated Digital Realty 50 MW, two months after it raised its stake in Africa's Teraco to about 77%.
