Goodman Group Raises $455 Million for Hong Kong Data Centre Partnership

Goodman Group has raised $455 million in equity for its Hong Kong data centre partnership, with most of the proceeds earmarked to fit out a 50-megawatt facility in Tsuen Wan.
Existing and new institutional investors backed the fundraising for the $2.7 billion vehicle, the Sydney-based industrial developer announced on Tuesday. The capital will primarily fund mechanical and electrical works at HKG10, which Goodman will operate.
Funding the Texaco Road Conversion
Work will focus on mechanical and electrical fit-outs at HKG10, an industrial conversion project at 128 Texaco Road. The facility will provide 32 megawatts of IT capacity backed by 50 megawatts of secured primary power.
Initial capacity is scheduled to enter service in early 2028. That is later than earlier company projections targeting mid-2026. Goodman will operate the completed site directly.
Retaining the existing warehouse avoids demolition emissions while cutting raw concrete and steel use during conversion, according to the developer.
Institutional Capital and Regional Scale
The transaction tests global pension appetite for Asia-Pacific digital infrastructure as conventional office and logistics yields face pressure. Goodman holds a 20 per cent cornerstone position in the venture alongside Dutch pension managers PGGM and APG, Canada Pension Plan Investment Board, CBRE Investment Management and an unnamed Middle Eastern institutional investor.
By securing committed capital before commissioning equipment, the partnership limits balance sheet exposure to regional fit-out and engineering costs. The main execution risk now shifts to procurement timing and grid delivery milestones in Hong Kong’s crowded industrial corridors.
Industrial Shift Toward Power Assets
That partnership launched in July 2025 with an initial seed portfolio of six properties across 2.3 million square feet and 325 megawatts of planned capacity. Four stabilised facilities at Goodman’s Tsuen Wan West campus accounted for 225 megawatts, with HKG10 and a second conversion making up the rest.
Data centres now represent 78 per cent of Goodman’s global development work in progress, totaling A$15.4 billion out of A$19.7 billion recorded at the end of June. Operating profit for the financial year rose 15.7 per cent to A$2.7 billion.
The Next Pipeline Deliveries
In July, the group started construction on HKG09, a 50-megawatt conversion in Kwai Chung pre-leased to an unnamed Singapore-based data centre operator. Completion is slated for 2029.
Outside Hong Kong, Goodman secured a 20-year hyperscale lease for the 50-megawatt opening phase of its Tsukuba Tech Central campus in Greater Tokyo, with commercial service starting in early 2028. Power grid sign-offs are next for the developer’s 135-megawatt Project Apollo in Sydney, which carries a development value of A$1.4 billion.
