DENVER/SINGAPORE - Vantage Data Centers, a portfolio company of DigitalBridge Group (DBRG) with a market capitalization of $2.12 billion, announced it has secured a $1.6 billion investment to accelerate its expansion in the Asia-Pacific region, according to a company press release issued Wednesday. InvestingPro data shows DigitalBridge maintains a "FAIR" overall financial health score, suggesting stable operational performance.

The investment was led by an affiliate of GIC, a global institutional investor, and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority (ADIA), both existing investors in the company. According to InvestingPro analysis, DigitalBridge Group has received a strong analyst consensus recommendation of 1.56 (where 1 is Strong Buy), with price targets ranging from $11 to $20.

As part of its expansion plans, Vantage will acquire Yondr Group’s 300MW+ hyperscale data center campus in Sedenak Tech Park, Johor, Malaysia. The campus, to be known as JHB1, will deliver more than 300MW of IT capacity across three data centers once fully developed.

The Johor facility, situated on nearly 73 acres within the Johor-Singapore Special Economic Zone, features sustainability technologies including direct-to-chip liquid cooling and is on track to meet EDGE certification requirements.

"This significant investment marks a pivotal milestone in our APAC growth journey," said Jeremy Deutsch, president of Vantage Data Centers, APAC. "Adding the Johor campus to our portfolio will bring our APAC footprint to 1GW of capacity."

Boon Chin Hau, chief investment officer, infrastructure at GIC, said the investment aims to support data center infrastructure development across the Asia-Pacific region to meet growing demand for capacity.

The investment and Johor campus acquisition are expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2025, subject to customary closing conditions.

With the addition of Johor, Vantage will have 1GW of operational and planned IT capacity across the Asia-Pacific region in Australia, Malaysia, Japan, Taiwan and Hong Kong.
