Strong LP participation and early portfolio deployment position the platform to scale into AI-era infrastructure opportunities

BOCA RATON, Fla.: #digitalbridge--DigitalBridge Group, Inc. (NYSE: DBRG) (“DigitalBridge” or the “Company”) today announced the close of DigitalBridge Partners III (“DBP III” or the “Fund”), the firm’s third value-added digital infrastructure fund, with over $7.2 billion in fund commitments and $4.5 billion in fund LP co-investment commitments secured to date across the DBP III portfolio, bringing total capital formation for the strategy to $11.7 billion1.

This milestone reflects strong investor conviction in DigitalBridge’s strategy, differentiated operating model, and consistent delivery across market cycles, with more than 65% of DBP III commitments coming from existing DigitalBridge Partners fund series investors, combined with several new LPs from Asia-Pacific, Europe, and North America. The robust co-investment participation highlights DigitalBridge’s ability to partner deeply with investors to scale capital into high-quality opportunities, especially around AI and hyperscale data centers.

"DBP III represents the next stage in our evolution as the leading digital infrastructure investment platform," said Marc Ganzi, Chief Executive Officer of DigitalBridge. "With strong fund commitments and meaningful co-investment from our LPs, this capital formation milestone positions us to scale into the opportunities we've been building toward - in hyperscale data centers, AI-enabling infrastructure, and the power and connectivity assets that underpin them. As an investor with decades of experience focused exclusively on digital infrastructure, we're investing where our operating expertise creates the most value."

"We structured DBP III with the flexibility and scale to pursue our highest-conviction opportunities across the digital infrastructure ecosystem," said Kevin Smithen, Chief Commercial and Strategy Officer at DigitalBridge. "The Fund is already deploying capital into next-generation platforms where we identified growth potential ahead of the market, including hyperscale data centers, fiber, and tower infrastructure. DigitalBridge is continuing to focus on what we do best: delivering value for our investors through proprietary sourcing, operator-driven value creation, and disciplined execution at scale."

DBP III has already constructed a well-diversified portfolio that includes Vantage Data Centers North America, Yondr Group, Orange Barrel Media, FiberNow, and JTOWER. These initial investments reflect the firm’s disciplined execution and alignment with the Fund’s high-conviction themes: investing at scale in proprietary opportunities where DigitalBridge has deep domain expertise and the ability to unlock value through active ownership and strategic growth.
