Nine storeys is what land scarcity does to a data centre. Microsoft's second building at Woodlands Industrial Park E9 in Singapore was tendered as a single-user industrial development of nine floors and delivered in two mechanical contracts, the second following the first rather than running beside it. It was under construction through 2019, the year Singapore stopped approving new data centres - a freeze that held until a pilot allocation across 2023 and 2024 released roughly 80 MW, shared between Microsoft, Equinix, GDS and an AirTrunk and ByteDance consortium, with about 300 MW signalled since. The company's first Woodlands building, at 1 Woodlands Industrial Park E9, went up between December 2012 and April 2014. Floor area, IT capacity and grid intake are unpublished for both.

Frequently asked questions
How many floors does the building have?
Nine. The tender described a single-user industrial development comprising a nine-storey data centre, built out under two successive mechanical and electrical contracts.
What did Singapore's moratorium mean for this site?
The building was already under construction in 2019, the year the city-state stopped approving new data centres. Allocations resumed only with a pilot call across 2023 and 2024 that released about 80 MW.
Which operators won capacity in that pilot allocation?
Microsoft, Equinix, GDS and a consortium of AirTrunk and ByteDance, out of roughly 80 MW awarded, against about 300 MW signalled for release overall.
How does this building relate to the earlier Woodlands site?
It is the second. The first, at 1 Woodlands Industrial Park E9, was built between December 2012 and April 2014 and remains a separate facility.
