FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Data center equity investors include: specialist infrastructure PE funds (DigitalBridge, ISquared, Stonepeak), sovereign wealth funds (GIC, Mubadala, CPPIB), pension funds (PSP, OTPP, APG), data center REITs, corporate strategic investors (hyperscalers), and family offices with technology infrastructure mandates.
Core infrastructure equity investors (pension, sovereign wealth) targeting stabilised assets typically require 8–12% IRR. Value-add and development-stage infrastructure PE funds target 15–20%+ IRR to compensate for development and lease-up risk.
A JV structure for data center development typically involves a financial equity partner contributing 80–90% of equity capital while the operating partner (developer) contributes the remaining 10–20% plus development expertise and management. The JV is governed by an agreed shareholder agreement covering decision rights, distributions, and exit mechanisms.
Key due diligence areas: site control and planning status, power availability and procurement, cooling design, tenant pipeline and lease status, management team track record, competitive market analysis, operating cost projections, and exit comparables (recent data center transaction multiples).
A growth equity investment involves a PE fund or family office taking a minority stake (20–49%) in an operating data center company without acquiring control. The operator retains day-to-day management while accessing capital for campus expansion, new market entry, or technology upgrades.
A targeted data center equity raise typically takes 3–9 months from mandate to close — including investor outreach, information memorandum preparation, data room setup, due diligence (6–12 weeks), and legal close. OAKRG's targeted introductions reduce wasted time significantly.
Yes. OAKRG connects data center operators and developers with infrastructure PE funds, sovereign wealth, pension capital, and family offices for equity raises from $5M to $500M+ across development, growth, and stabilised stages.
