Data Centres: Boom and BacklashBackground
Mitsubishi Corporation is a trading and investment company with its head office in the Marunouchi district of Tokyo. In data centres it works through MC Digital Realty, a venture it set up with the US operator Digital Realty in October 2017. The two own it equally. Mitsubishi put in its data centre at Mitaka, in western Tokyo, as a seed asset, and Digital Realty contributed its Osaka facility.
The venture began construction of KIX15 on 7 October 2026, at the KIX campus in Ibaraki City. When it opens, Mitsubishi's half-owned venture will hold 10 data centres in Japan and about 220 MW of IT capacity.
Mitsubishi's partner adds Asian capacity in modest blocks: Singapore granted Digital Realty a provisional 50 MW allocation in August 2026.
