Facebook chooses Singapore for $1bn data centre
Facebook has chosen Singapore for the location of its new data centre, which is expected to open in 2022.
The new facility will cost more than $1bn (£773m) and be located in the west of the country.
It has been designed as an 11-floor structure, in an attempt to conserve space in the crowded nation, according to Facebook.
One analyst told the BBC it was another sign of the country's popularity with large technology companies.
The new, 170,000-sq-m (1.8-million-sq-ft) data centre will support "hundreds" of local jobs.
