BOCA RATON, Fla. & LONDON–(BUSINESS WIRE)–DigitalBridge Group, Inc. (NYSE: DBRG), a leading global alternative asset manager dedicated to investing in digital infrastructure, today announced it has reached an agreement to acquire Yondr Group, a global developer and operator of hyperscale data centers, through one of its managed investment funds (the “DigitalBridge Fund”).
Yondr has established itself as a key player in the digital infrastructure sector, addressing the complex data center capacity demands of the world’s largest technology companies through the development and operation of sustainable data centers worldwide.
With a diverse portfolio of campuses, Yondr is well-positioned to meet the soaring demand for advanced data processing capabilities driven by ongoing digital transformation, the shift to cloud solutions, and the rise of artificial intelligence (AI). The company has more than 420MW of capacity committed to hyperscalers, with significant additional land to support a total potential capacity of over 1GW.
The DigitalBridge Fund’s strategic investment will drive the development of cutting-edge, sustainable data centers, backed by long-term, stable revenue streams from investment-grade clients.
“Yondr’s assets and strong relationships with leading hyperscale clients align with DigitalBridge’s vision to support the future of digital infrastructure,” said Jon Mauck, Senior Managing Director at DigitalBridge. “Yondr enhances our existing data center portfolio and strengthens our ability to support hyperscalers. Together, we are well-positioned to capitalize on the increasing demand for hyperscale data centers – fueled by AI, cloud computing, and the ongoing digital transformation across industries.”
Yondr will continue to operate as an independent company within DigitalBridge’s portfolio, leveraging DigitalBridge’s support, expertise, and experience. This partnership will enhance Yondr’s ability to serve its clients more effectively while accelerating global expansion efforts.
The deal is expected to close in early 2025, subject to customary closing conditions.
Citi served as Yondr’s exclusive financial advisor, with White & Case LLP as its legal counsel. DigitalBridge engaged Linklaters as legal advisors, Deloitte for financial and tax due diligence, Ramboll for technical expertise, and Nomura for financing support.
