Global alternative asset manager DigitalBridge Group (NYSE: DBRG), which specializes in digital infrastructure, has revealed its acquisition of Yondr Group, a prominent global developer and operator of hyperscale data centers known for its commitment to sustainable infrastructure.
This acquisition will occur through one of DigitalBridge’s managed investment funds, with the deal expected to finalize in early 2025, pending standard closing conditions. This move signifies a strategic expansion in DigitalBridge’s investment portfolio, bolstering its position in the hyperscale data center market as the global demand for robust digital infrastructure continues to escalate. Financial details of the transaction were not disclosed.
Yondr has built a reputation for developing and managing data centers that cater to the complex requirements of the largest IT companies worldwide. Its portfolio includes an extensive amount of campus area capable of supporting over 1GW of potential capacity, currently providing 420MW to satisfy the hyperscale demands of cloud and AI-driven technologies.
Yondr Group’s ability to accommodate such growth, fueled by the rapid pace of digital transformation, cloud computing, and artificial intelligence, has rendered it an appealing investment for DigitalBridge. The acquisition fits DigitalBridge’s strategic emphasis on assets that yield consistent, long-term revenue streams through contracts with investment-grade clients.
Accelerating Yondr’s International Growth
In this transaction, White & Case acted as Yondr’s legal adviser, with Citi serving as the exclusive financial consultant. DigitalBridge brought together a distinguished advisory team, enlisting Deloitte for financial and tax due diligence, Ramboll for technical insights, Linklaters for legal advice, and Nomura for financing assistance.
Post-acquisition, Yondr will retain its operational independence within DigitalBridge’s portfolio while benefiting from the expertise and resources that DigitalBridge offers to its affiliates.
Jon Mauck, Senior Managing Director of DigitalBridge, highlighted the strategic alignment between the two entities, recognizing Yondr’s strong client relationships and asset portfolio. This acquisition enhances DigitalBridge’s capacity to meet the rising demand for hyperscale data centers—demand propelled by the global trend towards digitalization, cloud technology, and advancements in AI. The partnership promises to quicken Yondr’s international growth ambitions and strengthen its ability to serve the hyperscale market with flexibility and scalability.
