CenterSquare Investment Management invests in Aligned Data Centers
CenterSquare Investment Management (CenterSquare) has made an equity investment in Aligned Data Centers, one of the largest and fastest-growing private data center developers in the Americas.
The investment was facilitated through CenterSquare's strategic partnership with Macquarie Asset Management, whose managed funds hold a majority stake in Aligned Data Centers.
Aligned is led by a seasoned management team of experts with deep industry knowledge and an average of over 20 years of experience.
The provider’s platform, bolstered through strategic investments and acquisitions, will harness this funding to support Aligned's expanding portfolio of cutting-edge, sustainable data center facilities to meet surging demand for innovative digital infrastructure solutions.
"CenterSquare's investment is a tremendous validation of our vision and growth strategy,” said Andrew Schaap, CEO of Aligned. “The investment further propels Aligned's expansion, enabling the development of next-generation data center infrastructure to support the surge of AI and hyperscale computing.”
