Project Overview

Digital Edge has established a strong presence in South Korea, supporting the country’s growing demand for secure, scalable and high-performance digital infrastructure.

At the Bupyeong campus, Digital Edge’s SEL2 and SEL3 buildings add significant capacity and strengthen the company’s ability to support growing demand in this key digital gateway location.

  • SEL2 delivers approximately 39,800 square meters of gross floor area with an IT load capacity of 36MW
  • SEL3 expands the campus with approximately 45,600 square meters of gross floor area and an additional 60MW IT load capacity

Together, SEL2 and SEL3 form a scalable, multi-phase hyperscale campus designed to support evolving tenant requirements, enable efficient operations, and accommodate long-term growth.
