Global Infrastructure Partners, backed by BlackRock, is negotiating a $40 billion acquisition of Aligned Data Centers, supported by Macquarie. Mubadala may join the deal independently. Rising demand for AI infrastructure is driving these investments, expected to reach $6.7 trillion by 2030, according to McKinsey.
Global Infrastructure Partners, supported by BlackRock, is reportedly in advanced negotiations to acquire Aligned Data Centers, which is backed by Macquarie. The deal could value the technology infrastructure provider at $40 billion, according to sources cited by Bloomberg News.
While the final agreement remains pending, an official announcement may be imminent. Mubadala, an investor in Aligned, has shown interest in participating independently as part of this potentially transformative transaction in the AI infrastructure realm.
The soaring demand for AI-powered data centers, estimated by McKinsey to need $6.7 trillion in investments by 2030, is a key driver behind this industry activity. Despite requests for comment, Blackrock, GIP, Aligned, Macquarie, and Mubadala have remained silent on the matter.
