Vantage Data Centers, a global leader in hyperscale data center campuses, has announced a $1.6 billion investment to strengthen and scale its Asia-Pacific (APAC) platform. The funding round was led by affiliates of GIC, a prominent global institutional investor, and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority (ADIA). Both GIC and ADIA are existing investors in Vantage Data Centers, reinforcing their long-term commitment to the company.
Alongside this investment, Vantage revealed plans to expand into Johor, Malaysia, through the acquisition of Yondr Group’s 300MW+ hyperscale data center campus in Sedenak Tech Park. This campus ranks among the largest hyperscale facilities in Southeast Asia. Yondr’s portfolio was recently acquired by investment vehicles managed by affiliates of DigitalBridge Group, Inc., a leading global alternative asset manager focused on digital infrastructure. DigitalBridge also stands as one of Vantage’s largest investors, further strengthening the strategic alignment.
