Igneo Acquires 7 U.S. Data Centers, Plans to Expand Platform
Global infrastructure investment manager Igneo Infrastructure Partners has acquired the Vault Digital Infrastructure portfolio from a joint venture of CVC DIF, Northleaf Capital Partners and Landmark Dividend. Financial terms were not disclosed. The portfolio includes seven colocation and enterprise data centers totaling 75 megawatts in high-growth digital infrastructure markets.
To be operated as Altum Digital Infrastructure, the portfolio is located in Phoenix; Richardson, TX; Santa Clara, CA; Charlotte; Clarksville, VA; Hazelwood, MO; and Indianapolis. All seven locations are characterized by low vacancy rates and high barriers to entry. In addition to currently providing critical capacity for blue-chip tenants under long-term leases, Altum plans to scale capacity within 18 months.
“The data center sector is experiencing rapid growth as organizations expand their data and compute capabilities,” said Michael Ryder, partner and co-head of North America at Igneo. “This transaction reflects our focus on acquiring mid-market platforms with growth capacity and strong downside protection.”
Wells Fargo and BofA Securities served as co-financial advisors and co-lead arrangers on the financing supporting the acquisition. Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher LLP acted as legal advisor to Igneo. For the JV, Akin Gump Strauss Hauer & Feld LLP served as legal adviser.
