Blackstone announced a €4 billion ($4.65 billion) investment in a new data‑center facility in Lippetal, Germany, expanding its European footprint.
The facility will be state‑of‑the‑art, designed to host enterprise clients and support Blackstone’s long‑term strategy to capture growth in the cloud‑infrastructure market, driven by rising demand for AI and cloud services.
The investment is part of Blackstone’s broader data‑center portfolio, which is valued between $70 billion and $85 billion and is expected to support over $125 billion of future growth. The German site adds a new location to a portfolio that already includes significant assets in the US, Europe, and Asia.
Jon Gray, Blackstone’s president, noted that despite increased capital deployment, power constraints make the region still attractive for data‑center investment, underscoring the firm’s focus on high‑margin, long‑term infrastructure assets.
The move aligns with the global data‑center market’s projected growth to $2 trillion in five years, fueled by AI and cloud computing, and positions Blackstone to benefit from the expanding demand for high‑performance computing infrastructure.
