Company Description (Source)
Owning Mission-Critical Data Centers that Power the Modern Digital Economy
We are a newly organized company focused on acquiring and owning
mission-critical data center assets that power the modern digital economy. We
will target newly-constructed, income-generating, stabilized data center
properties leased to investment-grade hyperscale tenants on long-term contracts.
We intend to invest in essential digital infrastructure primarily in top data
center markets that exhibit strong supply-demand dynamics. We expect to acquire
assets with fixed, annual rent escalators and favorable tenant expense
reimbursement structures, providing predictable yields and stable cash flows.
Our strategy focuses on essential digital infrastructure assets that serve as
the backbone for cloud computing, artificial intelligence (“AI”), and the
broader digital transformation driving economic growth. With an estimated $1
trillion total addressable stabilized data center market expected over the next
five years, we believe the industry represents a substantial investment
opportunity.
We will be externally managed by our Manager pursuant to the terms of a
management agreement, which will be effective upon completion of this offering
(the “Management Agreement”). Our Manager is an affiliate of Blackstone, a
leading global investment manager with more than $1.3 trillion of total assets
under management (“AUM”) as of March 31, 2026. Blackstone Real Estate was
founded in 1991 and is the world’s largest owner of commercial real
estate(1), with $315 billion of investor capital under management as of March
31, 2026. The Infrastructure group of Blackstone was founded in 2017 and manages
$84 billion of capital across digital infrastructure, energy, and transportation
assets as of March 31, 2026.
Blackstone has significant experience managing externally-advised public
reporting companies. Blackstone currently serves as external advisor to seven
U.S. public reporters across real estate, infrastructure, private equity, and
credit strategies with more than $198 billion in aggregate AUM as of March 31,
2026. These companies include Blackstone Real Estate Income Trust, Inc.
(“BREIT”), a non-listed, perpetual life REIT focused on stabilized,
income-generating commercial real estate properties, Blackstone Infrastructure
Strategies (“BXINFRA”), a non-listed, perpetual-life strategy focused on
investing in private infrastructure assets, and Blackstone Mortgage Trust, Inc.
(“BXMT”), a publicly listed real estate finance company that originates,
acquires, and manages senior loans and other debt or credit-oriented investments
collateralized by or relating to commercial real estate.
Blackstone is the Largest Financial Investor in Data Center and Digital
Infrastructure Assets Globally
Blackstone is the largest financial investor in data center and digital
infrastructure assets globally, and data centers and digital infrastructure
represent a large component of Blackstone’s real estate and infrastructure
platforms. Since 2018, Blackstone has invested into data center and digital
infrastructure opportunities worth approximately $225 billion in transactions
across capital structures, including over $150 billion in data center assets.
Blackstone is also a significant lender in the sector, with over $10 billion of
debt financing provided to data center and digital infrastructure developers and
operators. Our Manager will utilize Blackstone’s systematic and disciplined
approach to making and managing investments. Our investments will be subject to
approval by an investment committee which is composed of some of the most senior
and experienced investment professionals at Blackstone, including Stephen A.
Schwarzman (Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and Co-Founder of Blackstone),
Jonathan Gray (President and Chief Operating Officer of Blackstone), Michael
Chae (Vice Chairman and Chief Financial Officer of Blackstone), Kenneth Caplan
(Global Co-Chief Investment Officer of Blackstone), Greg Blank (Chief Executive
Officer of BXINFRA), Giovanni Cutaia (President of Blackstone Real Estate),
Michael Diverio (Senior Managing Director of Blackstone and member of our board
of directors), Mike Forman (Head of Americas Acquisitions and Global Head of
Digital Infrastructure for Blackstone Real Estate and Chief Investment Officer
of BXDC), Rob Harper (Head of Real Estate Asset Management Americas for
Blackstone Real Estate), Katharine A. Keenan (Global Head of Core+ Real Estate
for Blackstone Real Estate and chair of our board of directors), David Levine
(Head of Blackstone Real Estate Americas), Nadeem Meghji (Global Head of
Blackstone Real Estate), Nick Pell (Chief Executive Officer and President of
BXDC and member of our board of directors), and Jacob Werner (Global Chief
Investment Officer of Blackstone Real Estate) (the “BXDC Investment Committee”).
The high level of interaction between the BXDC Investment Committee and our
Manager’s investment professionals from the inception of a transaction to
closing helps identify potential issues early and enables the team to more
effectively streamline resources and workflows. Post-acquisition, our Manager
will oversee our investments through proactive asset management, as well as
periodic asset and valuation reviews.
The company’s management team is led by Nick Pell, our Chief Executive Officer
and President and a member of our board of directors, Mike Forman, our Chief
Investment Officer, and Anthony F. Marone, Jr., our Chief Financial Officer and
Treasurer. These senior executive officers possess deep investment and data
center expertise across markets and cycles, with Mr. Forman bringing specialized
data center investment experience and Mr. Pell and Mr. Marone contributing
extensive public markets and REIT operational expertise. Mr. Pell is the former
President and Chief Investment Officer of Link Logistics, the largest U.S.-only
owner and operator of last-mile industrial real estate and warehouse properties,
with more than 3,000 warehouses and distribution facilities strategically
located across more than 40 primary U.S. metro areas. He previously served as
the Chief Investment Officer of Gramercy Property Trust, a publicly traded REIT
that owned and managed industrial warehouses until it was acquired by Blackstone
Real Estate in 2018. Mr. Forman, a Senior Managing Director at Blackstone and
Head of Americas Acquisitions and Global Head of Digital Infrastructure for
Blackstone Real Estate, has been extensively involved in all of Blackstone’s
data center investments, including QTS Data Centers (“QTS”), AirTrunk, and a
$7 billion joint venture with Digital Realty. Mr. Marone is a Senior Managing
Director at Blackstone and the Global Head of Real Estate Finance and has
extensive experience serving as Chief Financial Officer of several public REITs
and other businesses.
Our objective is to generate attractive long-term, risk-adjusted returns for our
investors, primarily through distributions and capital appreciation. We intend
to achieve this objective by selectively acquiring target assets to build in
portfolio that, over time, is designed to provide diversification and deliver
attractive returns across a variety of market conditions and economic cycles.
Our strategy emphasizes potential downside protection through long-term leases
with investment-grade hyperscalers while targeting a premium return relative to
hyperscalers’ corporate bonds. However, given the characteristics of the data
center industry, our portfolio may be concentrated in certain geographic areas
and/or among a limited number of tenants. While we expect to acquire
newly-constructed data center properties that are already leased and for which
rent payments have commenced, we may selectively consider acquiring data centers
that are still in development and where rent payments begin only upon
completion. Any such acquisitions would not be immediately income-generating at
the time of acquisition.
We will commence operations upon completion of this offering. We intend to elect
and qualify to be taxed as a REIT, for U.S. federal income tax purposes,
commencing with our taxable year ending December 31 for the year in which we
receive proceeds from this offering. So long as we qualify as a REIT, we
generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax on net taxable income
that we distribute annually to our stockholders. Upon completion of this
offering, we expect to have approximately $ million of cash available to execute
our business strategy after giving effect to estimated underwriting discounts
and commissions but before expenses payable by us.
