The fund's strategic focus on build-to-suit data centers for hyperscalers (companies like Microsoft, Amazon, and Google) is perfectly timed with the explosive capital requirements driven by AI infrastructure buildout. These specialized facilities demand billions in upfront capital, creating high barriers to entry that benefit large-scale players like Blue Owl.
What makes this particularly impressive is the fund size relative to competitors. At
- Enhanced ability to fund multi-billion dollar hyperscaler development projects
- Stronger negotiating position with technology tenants

Marc Zahr, Co-President and Global Head of Real Assets at Blue Owl said, "We continue to see a generational market opportunity in data centers and digital infrastructure more broadly.

Developing and investing in data centers globally demands expertise and strong end-client relationships. With rising capital needs, staying relevant means having the financial strength to build and own critical digital infrastructure along with maintaining an experienced global team focused on meeting the needs of our partners."
