AustralianSuper has made its first investment in the US data centre market, injecting $2.2 billion in DataBank alongside the company’s existing investor DigitalBridge.
The investment was part of a nearly $3 billion equity raise by DataBank which included more than $700 million in commitments from existing investors.
AustralianSuper’s global real assets portfolio now totals nearly $60 billion, and includes digital infrastructure assets across Australia; Europe, Middle East and Asia; and South America. In 2023, AustralianSuper signed a $2.5 billion deal with DigitalBridge Group to acquire a significant minority stake in Vantage Data Centers Europe, Middle East and Africa (Vantage EMEA).
