Batam, 20 February 2025 – Sinar Primera, together with its partner Gaw Capital Partners, a private equity real estate firm, officially launched Golden Digital Gateway, a state-of-the-art, carrier-neutral colocation data center at Nongsa Digital Park. This launch marks a significant milestone in strengthening Indonesia’s digital infrastructure and represents the first phase of a two-stage development planned by the companies. The data center is now fully operational and ready to serve businesses seeking best-in-class technology solutions.
Low-Latency Connectivity and Strategic Location
The data center offers a key competitive advantage through low-latency connectivity to Singapore, with transmission times of under 2 milliseconds via diverse and redundant routes. This ensures seamless and reliable data access for customers, enabling them to choose solutions best aligned with their business needs.
Located within a Special Economic Zone, the facility not only delivers high stability and scalability but also provides significant operational cost efficiencies. With these advantages, Golden Digital Gateway serves as a strategic gateway for companies looking to expand into the rapidly growing Southeast Asian market.
Gaw Capital Partners is committed not only to meeting today’s digital demands but also to anticipating future challenges. With a strong focus on developing high-quality alternative real estate assets, the firm continues to create sustainable investment opportunities with positive long-term impact. Through close collaboration with various stakeholders, Gaw Capital aims to redefine the standards of sustainable data centers by optimizing resource use and reducing carbon emissions through innovative technological solutions.
Sinar Primera’s Integrated New Economy Real Estate Vision
Through its three core business lines—integrated eco-city townships, high-quality warehousing facilities, and advanced data centers—Sinar Primera remains committed to delivering globally scaled products and services while leveraging strategic locations to provide the best facilities for its business partners.
