Digital Halo to join Partners Group in new acquisition deal

Partners Group plans to initially commit around $521m alongside ARCH Capital.

Singapore-based data centre operator Digital Halo Pte. Ltd. is being acquired by Partners Group from its existing shareholders, including ARCH Capital.

Partners Group plans to initially commit around $521m (US$400m) alongside ARCH Capital, which will stay as a minority shareholder.

Additionally, it intends to work with the management team to transform Digital Halo into a data centre platform with over 500MW of data centre capacity across multiple markets in Southeast and North Asia.

The firm’s value creation plan includes the construction and operation of two seed assets in Manila, Philippines, and Johor Bahru, Malaysia.

“After bringing our first site in Manila into operation, securing power and all necessary building permits in Johor, and obtaining exclusivity on a third site, we are pleased to bring Partners Group on board to drive the next phase of our growth,” said Kai Goh, CEO and co-founder of Digital Halo.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.


The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.


So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
