The companies said the JV was formed to “meet Indonesia’s growing need for a higher level of global data center facilities.”
The SSEK team advising on the project was led by partners Ira A. Eddymurthy, Rusmaini Lenggogeni and Mahareksha Dillon. Saprita Tahir was the lead associate.
With an estimated value of $300 million, this reportedly would be one of the largest foreign investments in the data center sector in Indonesia. (May 2022)
