Situated at 224 Yangjae-dong in Seocho-gu, KR1 GDC spans 30,714 square metres and marks the first new data centre development in Seoul’s Gangnam district in over 10 years.

The GDC is well positioned to support the growing infrastructure demands of Korea’s AI economy and contribute to building a robust and resilience data centre ecosystem. The GDC opening represents a celebration of shared vision, close collaboration and the strengthening digital partnership between our two like-minded countries”.  

H.E.
