Global private markets investment firm Partners Group has agreed to acquire Singapore-based data centre platform Digital Halo Pte Ltd, according to an announcement.
The deal, which is carried out on behalf of Partners Group’s clients, includes an initial commitment of approximately $400 million alongside ARCH Capital to support Digital Halo’s expansion across Asia.
ARCH Capital, one of the current shareholders, will retain a minority stake in the Singaporean company, per the announcement.
Partners Group said it aims to develop Digital Halo into a next-generation data centre platform with more than 500 MW capacity across key markets in Southeast Asia and North Asia.
The strategy includes building and operating two initial facilities in Manila, Philippines, and Johor Bahru, Malaysia—both located in rapidly growing data center hubs with strong expansion potential.
Data centres are a key global investment theme for Partners Group, which has invested over $4 billion in the space globally since 2021. Digital Halo is the fourth data centre acquisition for the firm.
Partners Group’s current data centre assets include EdgeCore, a hyperscale data center platform in the US; atNorth, a pan-Nordic data centre platform; and GreenSquareDC, a data center provider in Australia.
“Data centres continue to be a thematic area of focus for us globally, and we believe that specific markets within Asia will offer significant growth opportunities in the years ahead,” said Luv Parikh, managing director, head of Infrastructure Asia, at Asia Partners.
Digital Halo CEO and co-founder Kai Goh said the partnership would help accelerate the company’s growth into a provider of next-generation, sustainable, and AI-ready data center campuses across Asia.
Partners Group, one of the world’s largest private markets investment firms, manages more than $150 billion in assets globally and employs around 1,800 professionals. Its Infrastructure business has $27 billion in AUM globally.
“We have spent significant time researching the data centre space in Asia. We believe the market, especially in Southeast and North Asia, continues to offer platform-building opportunities underpinned by favorable growth tailwinds,” said Jansen Ang, member of management, Infrastructure Asia, at Partners Group.
