CIMIC Group

CIMIC Group company Leighton Asia has secured a contract to deliver a large-scale data centre project in Malaysia. The award builds on Leighton Asia’s successful delivery of data centre projects across Asia and strengthens its position as a leading contractor of mission critical digital infrastructure.

The project forms part of a multi phase hyperscale campus development that will support the region’s accelerating demand for secure, resilient and energy‑efficient digital capacity. 

Leighton Asia will undertake the end to end delivery of the campus works, drawing on its regional expertise and strong supply chain partnerships. Early works and enabling activities have positioned the project for a seamless transition into main works delivery. 

ACS Group and HOCHTIEF Chief Executive Officer and CIMIC Group Executive Chairman Juan Santamaria said: 

“Investment in large‑scale digital infrastructure like this is essential for the next phase of economic growth across Southeast Asia, providing the platforms required for cloud, data and technology‑led industries to expand with confidence. Leighton Asia brings a strong regional track record in delivering data centre developments, supported by technical expertise and established local partnerships.”

Leighton Asia Managing Director Brad Davey said:
