Digital Realty to Acquire Eight Data Centers for $874 Million

  • Written by WeathersfieldTM
  • May 16, 2016
Digital Realty Trust Inc. agreed to acquire eight data centers from Equinix Inc.

(Bloomberg) — Digital Realty Trust Inc., an owner of technology-related real estate, agreed to acquire eight data centers from Equinix Inc. for $874.4 million.

The properties are located in London, Amsterdam and Frankfurt, the San Francisco-based company said in a statement on Monday. Digital Realty also granted Equinix, based in London, an option to purchase its facility in Paris and the related operating business for about $215 million.

“We have made several recent strategic investments in Europe, and this new portfolio -– which is concentrated in three of the most strategically important data center and interconnection hubs in Europe -– will immediately bring on board a large, diversified customer base,” A. William Stein, Digital Realty’s chief executive officer, said in the statement.

The deal follows Equinix’s acquisition of Telecity Group Plc. The transaction with Digital Realty is expected to close in the second half of 2016.
