DENVER <\/strong>(<\/strong>November 19, 2020)<\/strong> \u2013 Vantage Data Centers, a leading global provider of hyperscale data center campuses, today announced that it has raised US$1.25 billion in incremental equity capital from its existing investors, led by Digital Colony. This funding will be used to fuel ongoing expansion and development across North America and Europe.<\/p>\n

\u201cHyperscale data center market demand remains strong, and this capital raise will allow Vantage to accelerate its global expansion of sustainable, large-scale campuses,\u201d said Sharif Metwalli, CFO, Vantage Data Centers. \u201cThis capital raise demonstrates our investors\u2019 continued commitment to Vantage\u2019s strategic growth plan.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Vantage team continues to do an amazing job supporting the growth of their hyperscale customers as they expand in North America and increasingly throughout Europe,\u201d said Marc Ganzi, president and CEO of Colony Capital and Digital Colony. \u201cSupporting the strategic development and financing of our partner companies is a key pillar of Digital Colony\u2019s alpha-creation strategies, so we\u2019re thrilled to be a part of Vantage\u2019s next big step forward.\u201d<\/p>\n

Vantage has continued its strong trajectory in the second half of 2020 by reaching new milestones around funding and development. The company recently opened its flagship European campus in Frankfurt, Germany, with the completion of the first phase of what will be a three-building campus delivering 55MW of critical IT capacity once fully developed. Vantage also closed on its acquisition of Next Generation Data in the U.K. and added 68MW of capacity across the world\u2019s two largest markets \u2013 Northern Virginia and Silicon Valley.<\/p>\n

In addition, earlier this year Vantage entered a strategic partnership with an investor group led by an affiliate of Colony Capital, Inc. (NYSE: CLNY) to advance its growth globally. Most recently, the company raised US$1.3 billion in securitized notes at attractive rates and with the longest blended tenor ever issued by a data center company in the asset-backed securities (ABS) market.<\/p>\n
