Why it matters

The strategic read

Moves DAMAC Digital from a regional Edgnex expansion story into a declared multi-continent AI-infrastructure landbank. The announcement matters because it combines hyperscaler partnerships, liquid-cooling-ready design, construction/procurement headcount, and gigawatt-scale capacity targets across sovereign-cloud and AI-demand markets, even though individual site permits, tenants, power terms and financing packages still need to be tracked one by one.

Source-supported terms

What was disclosed

  1. 01

    DAMAC Digital announced that its planned IT-capacity landbank has reached 6,000 MW across 13 countries and a planned portfolio of more than 35 sites.

  2. 02

    The company said it is expanding amid demand for AI, cloud computing and digital infrastructure across North America, Europe, Asia and the Middle East.

  3. 03

    DAMAC Digital said it has broken ground on 10 new sites in the last five months, with eight sites expected to be operational by the end of 2026.

  4. 04

    The company is targeting more than 700 MW of operational capacity across more than 14 sites by Q1 2027 and 2 GW of operational capacity by the end of Q1 2028.

  5. 05

    DAMAC Digital said it has signed partnerships with five global hyperscalers, but the public release does not name the counterparties or disclose site-by-site contract terms.

  6. 06

    The company said more than 90% of its data centers are designed with liquid-cooling infrastructure and built to support the latest generation of AI accelerators, including NVIDIA Vera Rubin.

  7. 07

    DCD reported the same 6 GW landbank and noted that DAMAC Digital already has operational data centers in Saudi Arabia and Thailand.

  8. 08

    DCD also noted that U.S. President Donald Trump previously said the company would invest at least $20B in U.S. data centers, but this Deal Room entry is tied to the June 2026 global 6 GW landbank announcement rather than a single U.S. site award.
