Taiwanese cloud and AI infrastructure provider Konst is leasing capacity at LG Sinar Mas’ upcoming SMX01 data center in Jakarta, expanding its presence in Southeast Asia. Set to open in Q4 2026, the $300 million facility was announced in 2024 as a joint venture between LG Sinar Mas, SM+ Data Centers, and Korea Investment Real Asset Management. Construction began in March 2025. Konst will deploy GPU infrastructure at SMX01, which is designed to support high-density workloads.
Following the signing ceremony, Konst co-founder and chairman, Ben Chang, said: “Today marks a major milestone for Konst as we take the next step in expanding our AI infrastructure business into Southeast Asia. Indonesia is a key market for AI, and we are proud to work with SM+, LGSM, Giga Computing, and Raydian Cloud to build the next generation of AI data centers. This strong partnership is only the beginning. We believe Konst can become a leading and innovative brand in the AI ecosystem, and we look forward to deepening our collaboration.”
Ariawan, COO of LG Sinar Mas, added: “As SMX01 moves closer to its operational launch, establishing strategic partnerships with industry leaders like Konst is essential to fulfilling our commitment to deliver a world-class, AI-ready data center. By combining LGSM’s end-to-end design, construction, and operations expertise with Konst’s proven capabilities, we are reinforcing our commitment to setting the standard for reliability and excellence in Indonesia’s digital infrastructure landscape.”
SMX01 will support high-density workloads of up to 130kW per rack, with 27MW of total capacity and 6MW in its first phase. Giga Computing will supply the GPUs, while Raydian Cloud will manage deployment and operations. Founded in 2024, Konst operates across nine countries with 42MW of capacity in development and operation. LG Sinar Mas is a 50:50 JV between LG CNS and Sinar Mas’ SM+. SM+ Data Centers operates 25 Indonesian facilities with nearly 40MW of IT capacity. Konst is also targeting a 2027 IPO and has launched new Token Business and Compute Fund divisions.
