IC3 Super West AI Data Centre Breaks Ground At MacQuarie Park.
IC3 Super West AI Data Centre Breaks Ground – Macquarie Data Centres has started construction on its IC3 Super West AI data centre after appointing prominent Australian construction company, FDC Construction (FDC) as the main building contractor. The project will bring more sovereign AI and cloud data centre capacity to Sydney.
IC3 Super West will offer customers AI densities, resilient data halls, dedicated office space and storage. The large-scale project is expected to bring more than 1200 jobs to the region. The construction cost will be around $A350 million from FY25 to practical completion of Phase 1, which will deliver the powered core and shell, as well as 6MW of IT load fitted out.
IC3 Super West is being purpose built for high-density cloud and AI workloads, including hybrid air and liquid cooling options. The facility is the third and largest addition to the provider’s flagship Macquarie Park Data Centre Campus in Sydney’s North Zone and will bring the total campus IT load up to 63 megawatts (MW). IC3 Super West will open its doors with all end state power secured.
“Sovereign AI and cloud data centres are the backbone of Australia’s AI-driven future,” said David Hirst, group executive of Macquarie Data Centres.
“Like all of Macquarie Data Centres’ facilities, IC3 Super West will be Certified Strategic by the Australian Federal Government. This gives our data centres a strong compliance posture as regulations around data sovereignty and AI continue to tighten in Australia and worldwide.
“This partnership brings together 2 Australian powerhouses with extensive experience in constructing state-of-the-art, mission critical facilities.”
