As demand for digital infrastructure ramps up, the companies building tomorrow’s data centers are increasingly looking beyond traditional financing to support long-term expansion. Strategic investment has become an important part of that equation, providing both capital and confidence in a platform’s ability to meet growing customer demand.

Sabey Data Center Properties (SDCP) has taken another step in that direction with a minority equity investment from Ares Secondaries funds. The investment expands SDCP’s ownership base while strengthening the long-standing partnership between Sabey Corporation and National Real Estate Advisors. It also provides additional institutional capital to support the company’s disciplined approach to future growth.

Driven by the rapid growth of cloud computing and artificial intelligence, demand for data center infrastructure continues to rise. SDCP currently operates six energized campuses totaling approximately 251 megawatts of operating capacity, with existing land holdings that provide the opportunity to nearly triple that capacity by 2036. The additional investment helps position the company to accelerate development across its current campuses while pursuing future opportunities in key markets.

“Welcoming Ares as an investor is a strong endorsement of SDCP’s platform, our team and the long-term demand we’re seeing for scaled data center infrastructure,” said Tim Mirick, President of SDCP. “With Sabey, National and now Ares aligned behind the business, we are well positioned to execute our disciplined growth plan and deliver the mission-critical capacity our customers need.”

The investment also reinforces the strength of the partnership that has guided SDCP’s growth. National Real Estate Advisors described the addition of Ares as a natural extension of its long-standing relationship with Sabey, while Ares noted that SDCP’s high-quality operating portfolio and future development opportunities made the platform an attractive investment. Together, the three organizations are aligned around supporting the next phase of SDCP’s expansion.

As enterprises continue investing in AI and other digital technologies, the need for reliable data center infrastructure is expected to grow alongside them. With additional institutional support and a clear path for expansion, SDCP is well positioned to continue developing the capacity needed to support customers while reinforcing its role as one of the nation’s leading privately held data center platforms.
