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

The ownership breakdown:<\/strong> Both Adia and GIC are existing backers of Vantage, alongside alternative asset manager DigitalBridge Group<\/a>. Adia acquired<\/a> a 40% in DigitalBridge\u2019s subsidiary Landmark Dividend<\/a> back in April 2024. <\/p>\n

The investment will fund Vantage\u2019s Asia Pacific expansion<\/strong>, including the acquisition of a 300+ MW hyperscale campus in Johor, Malaysia, from Mubadala-backed<\/a> data center developer Yondr Group<\/a>. The site, located in Sedenak Tech Park, will comprise three facilities once fully built and will be branded JHB1. Additional capital will support Vantage\u2019s broader APAC platform.<\/p>\n

Both Adia and GIC\u2019s <\/strong>investment and Vantage\u2019s acquisition of Johor are expected to close in 4Q 2025.<\/strong> The transaction will lift Vantage\u2019s APAC footprint to 1 GW of planned and operational capacity across Australia, Malaysia, Japan, Taiwan and Hong Kong.<\/p>\n

REMEMBER-<\/strong> Adia was reportedly expected to participate<\/a> in Vantage\u2019s USD 1.6 bn bid for Yondr. Yondr Group, backed<\/a> by Mubadala and Apollo since 2024, raised IFC financing and debt<\/a> to support the Johor project. Several DigitalBridge affiliates acquired Yondr\u2019s portfolio earlier this year, including the JHB1 campus, before agreeing to transfer the Malaysian assets to Vantage.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
