DigitalBridge’s Vantage SDC Platform Buys CA22, a Santa Clara Hyperscale Data Center
Posted on 10/03/2021
DigitalBridge Group, Inc. is a global digital infrastructure REIT. DigitalBridge expanded its platform with the acquisition of CA22, a 24MW hyperscale data center serving the strategic Santa Clara, CA market. The transaction is valued at US$ 539 million and will be funded primarily through existing and new Vantage SDC debt facilities and cash on hand.
The CA22 data center facility is located in Vantage Data Center’s CA2 campus next to Vantage SDC’s fully-owned CA21 facility, which serves the supply-constrained Santa Clara market.
The transaction is a significant milestone for Vantage SDC, representing its first hyperscale data center acquisition since its formation in July 2020 through a US$ 3.5 billion strategic partnership between Vantage Data Centers and a DigitalBridge-led investor group. Vantage Data Centers will continue to manage and operate CA22 as part of its global data center footprint, maintaining the same level of superior service for its valued customers. The transaction extends Vantage SDC’s footprint to 13 stabilized hyperscale data centers across North America and expands capacity by 14% to 177MW.
