Malaysian infrastructure firm Gamuda Bhd. won a data centre contract worth over 1 billion ringgit ($304.4 million) from Google's Malaysian affiliate, according to company filings.
Gamuda said it will also sell 389 acres of land in Malaysia's Negeri Sembilan state to Pearl Computing Malaysia Sdn for about 455 million ringgit, on which the latter will build data centres.
Pearl Computing is wholly owned by Raiden APAC, which is in turn owned by Google, according to company filings.
The data centre project will include construction of a water treatment plant with a capacity of 65 million litres and an off-river storage system.
Google previously said that it was investing $2 billion in Malaysia to develop data centres and a cloud facility in the Southeast Asian country.
Last year, Pearl Computing signed a 5.6 billion ringgit build-and-lease deal for data centres in Malaysia with a unit of Kuala Lumpur-listed Sime Darby Property.
