GLP, the logistics and digital infrastructure firm, has started development of a 200MW data center in Foshan, Guangdong province, China. The project adds significant scale to GLP's data center portfolio in Asia and positions Foshan as a node in the Pearl River Delta's growing digital infrastructure corridor. No timeline or total investment figure was reported in available details.

GLP's move signals that logistics-oriented infrastructure players are increasingly competing directly with dedicated data center REITs for large-scale compute real estate.
