Aligned Data Centers is set to be acquired by Blackrock-owned Global Infrastructure Partners (GIP), at a value of $40 billion.
Aligned’s current owners, Macquarie Asset Management, first invested in the company in 2018. They are reportedly in talks with GIP regarding the takeover. An official announcement is expected soon.
Aligned has data center campuses across the U.S., including in hubs like Chicago, Illinois; Dallas, Texas; Salt Lake City, Utah; Phoenix, Arizona; and Northern Virginia. Additional locations are under development in Maryland, Ohio, Illinois, and Virginia.
We are continuing to see plenty of movement in the data center space, with investments and acquisitions all across the country and the world.
