STTGDC (global provider of data center colocation and connectivity services) has completed its acquisition by a KKR-led consortium comprising funds managed by KKR and Singtel, the company announced on 2 September 2026, simultaneously launching a refreshed global brand as it moves into what it describes as the next phase of its development as a global digital infrastructure platform.

Transaction Closes After More Than a Decade of Growth

The acquisition by the KKR-Singtel consortium brings to a close a transaction that STTGDC's leadership characterised as the most significant development in the company's history since its founding more than twelve years ago. The deal provides the company with long-term capital, increased financial flexibility, and access to the consortium's global infrastructure experience.

Bruno Lopez, President and Group CEO of STTGDC, described the completion as a pivotal moment. "Today marks the most important turning point in STTGDC's evolution since we founded the company more than 12 years ago," Lopez said. "The completion of this transaction signals the beginning of a new chapter for our company.

We have spent over a decade building a global platform with the scale, capabilities and operating discipline needed to support the next generation of cloud and AI growth."

STTGDC confirmed that customers will continue to be served by the same leadership team and that no changes are planned to the company's operating strategy or its long-standing customer commitments. The company said the transaction is designed to strengthen, rather than redirect, the strategy already in motion.

Refreshed Brand Anchored in "Built Ready" Positioning

Alongside the transaction close, STTGDC unveiled a refreshed global brand while retaining its existing name. The new brand identity is anchored in the phrase "Built Ready," which the company said expresses its focus on delivering reliable, resilient and AI-ready infrastructure to customers across Asia, the United Kingdom and Europe.

Lopez said the rebrand reflects both the company's current standing and its forward responsibilities. "Our refreshed brand reflects both the company we have become and the responsibility we carry as digital infrastructure becomes increasingly critical to economies, businesses and communities," he said.

"Built Ready is our commitment to delivering the critical infrastructure our customers need to grow with confidence, while building responsibly and sustaining the trust of governments, customers and communities."

Strong Operating Metrics Heading Into New Phase

STTGDC reported significant growth across several key operating metrics for the period from December 2025 through June 2026. Operational capacity increased by 25 percent to 780 megawatts during this period.

Contracted capacity grew by 50 percent, and annualised earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortisation rose by 30 percent over the same period.

The company cited continued demand from hyperscalers, cloud service providers, AI customers, and enterprises across its markets as the driver behind these results. It enters the new ownership phase with what is described as a substantial development pipeline, including close to 2 gigawatts of powered land secured for assets under construction and pipeline development.

STTGDC identified the conversion of customer demand into delivered capacity as the defining challenge facing the data centre industry as artificial intelligence changes the scale, density and complexity of infrastructure requirements.

The company said meeting that challenge depends on coordinated planning across power, cooling, design, supply chains, financing, and local market conditions, as well as operational discipline in delivering mission-critical infrastructure.

Regional Footprint and Market Priorities

STTGDC's growth strategy is focused on markets where customer requirements, power availability, infrastructure readiness, policy alignment and long-term fundamentals support what the company calls responsible development.

In India, STTGDC operates 34 data centres across 10 cities with more than 613 megawatts of IT capacity. The company said it is strategically scaling its IT load capacity there to support the country's expanding digital economy.

In Indonesia, STTGDC has been expanding its Jakarta campus and is advancing a development pipeline of more than 360 megawatts of AI-ready IT capacity backed by secured power.

The company said recent development milestones continue to strengthen its ability to support Indonesia's growing cloud, AI and digital infrastructure requirements.

Singapore also remains a strategic priority for the company. STTGDC has been selected to develop 50 megawatts of sustainable, AI-ready data centre capacity in the city-state, which it said will support Singapore's continued development as a hub for AI, digital infrastructure and international connectivity.

Environmental Performance and Sustainability Commitments

STTGDC reported that 83.2 percent of electricity consumption across its operations is sourced from renewable energy. The company also disclosed that it surpassed its 2028 carbon intensity reduction target three years ahead of schedule.

STTGDC said that responsible growth will remain integral to its business going forward, with the company continuing to work closely with governments, customers and communities to address local priorities and maintain what it referred to as the social licence to operate.

Your Next Data Center Opportunity Could Be Anywhere. Are You Tracking It?

The data center sector is expanding at a pace that leaves little room for guesswork. From hyperscale campuses breaking ground in emerging economies to edge computing facilities quietly reshaping urban infrastructure across markets worldwide, the volume of activity demands more than a passive approach to business intelligence.

Knowing where investment is flowing, and when, is the competitive edge that separates firms winning contracts from those finding out too late. The Global Project Tracking (GPT) platform by Blackridge Research was built precisely for this challenge, aggregating verified project data across every stage of development so your team can act with confidence rather than catch up after the fact.

Whether you are a developer, contractor, equipment supplier, or investor operating across markets worldwide, the GPT platform gives you a structured, continuously updated view of the global data center pipeline in one place.
