CenterSquare has announced that its equity investment in Aligned Data Centers will be purchased as part of the acquisition by a consortium led by Artificial Intelligence Infrastructure Partnership (AIP), MGX Fund Management Limited (MGX), and Global Infrastructure Management, a part of BlackRock (GIP, together with AIP and MGX, the AIP Consortium). The consortium is acquiring 100 percent of the equity in Aligned, valuing the data center company at $40 billion.
“This acquisition — as the largest data center transaction to date — marks a great success for CenterSquare and our investors,” said Chad Burkhardt, managing director and head of strategic capital at CenterSquare. “We are thrilled not only to deliver these results to our investors, but also to do so in less than half the timeframe of our original underwriting.”
