DigitalBridge Group has agreed to acquire Yondr Group, a leading global developer and operator of hyperscale data centres, through one of its investment funds. This acquisition aligns with DigitalBridge’s strategy to meet the rising demand for digital infrastructure driven by AI, cloud computing, and digital transformation.
Yondr operates with over 420MW of capacity, with plans to support up to 1GW, making it a strong addition to DigitalBridge’s portfolio. This acquisition strengthens DigitalBridge’s ability to support hyperscale clients with robust data processing solutions. “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. He added that the partnership would enable both companies to capitalize on the growing need for hyperscale data centres.
Yondr will continue as an independent entity within DigitalBridge’s portfolio, using its new resources to expand globally. The transaction, subject to regulatory approval, is expected to close in early 2025.
The Yondr deal follows another major acquisition by DigitalBridge. Last week, DigitalBridge announced its acquisition of a 75.62% stake in Japanese infrastructure company JTower for JPY 70.1 billion ($466 million). JTower, a significant player in Japan’s shared infrastructure sector, owns over 7,700 towers in suburban and rural areas. Atsushi Tanaka, Representative Director of JTower, noted that the acquisition would enhance capital efficiency and infrastructure sharing across Japan.
