Adia + GIC commit USD 1.6 bn to Vantage Data Centers: The Abu Dhabi Investment Authority (Adia), through a wholly owned subsidiary, and an affiliate of the Singaporean wealth fund GIC led a USD 1.6 bn investment in data center developer Vantage Data Centers, according to a press release.

The ownership breakdown: Both Adia and GIC are existing backers of Vantage, alongside alternative asset manager DigitalBridge Group. Adia acquired a 40% in DigitalBridge’s subsidiary Landmark Dividend back in April 2024.

The investment will fund Vantage’s Asia Pacific expansion, including the acquisition of a 300+ MW hyperscale campus in Johor, Malaysia, from Mubadala-backed data center developer Yondr Group. The site, located in Sedenak Tech Park, will comprise three facilities once fully built and will be branded JHB1. Additional capital will support Vantage’s broader APAC platform.

Both Adia and GIC’s investment and Vantage’s acquisition of Johor are expected to close in 4Q 2025. The transaction will lift Vantage’s APAC footprint to 1 GW of planned and operational capacity across Australia, Malaysia, Japan, Taiwan and Hong Kong.

REMEMBER- Adia was reportedly expected to participate in Vantage’s USD 1.6 bn bid for Yondr. Yondr Group, backed by Mubadala and Apollo since 2024, raised IFC financing and debt to support the Johor project. Several DigitalBridge affiliates acquired Yondr’s portfolio earlier this year, including the JHB1 campus, before agreeing to transfer the Malaysian assets to Vantage.
