ASIA-Pacific and Japan hyperscale data centre specialist AirTrunk is opening its new global headquarters in North Sydney.
Located at 88 Walker Street AirTrunk’s new global HQ was designed by Woods Bagot, with its fitout by Australian construction company A W Edwards, with a three-story-high digital wall connecting all three floors of the workspace.
“AirTrunk workplaces have always been a key part of our employee value proposition because we know that an energising environment influences how people feel and in turn, positively impacts their experience, engagement, and productivity,” said Robin Khuda, founder and CEO at AirTrunk.
Our new global HQ will keep AirTrunkers inspired to consistently reach for new heights and be a drawcard for the best talent in the industry.”
The space was designed to achieve platinum-level WELLS certification and is also on target to achieve a 5-star Green Star and 4.5 NABERS rating, thanks to the use of recycled wood, locally sourced Australian wood and stone, acoustic panelling made from recycled plastic, energy-efficient lighting solutions and indoor botanicals.
“It’s fitting that Sydney is home to our new global headquarters; it is where AirTrunk was founded less than 10 years ago, is home to three campuses that make up the largest total capacity of any single city in our portfolio, and is where the majority of our employees reside,” added Khuda.
“We established this new HQ, along with our regional head offices in Singapore and Japan, to accommodate our growing team of AirTrunkers who are enabling AirTrunk’s rapid expansion throughout the APJ region.”
Founded in Australia in 2015, AirTrunk has a platform of 11 data centres across seven cities and five markets and has more than 1.4 gigawatts of total capacity across its portfolio, making it the region’s largest data centre company outside of China.
