According to a press release, the company will initially be given $1.05b (US$800m) to support around $2.62b (US$2b) in data centre development and investment.

EdgeCore Internet Real Estate’s initial rollout of its North American data centre platform will include campus developments across six markets. Each of the campuses will be built to deliver 100-200 MW of power.

The company has acquired land in Mesa, Arizona, and prior to the end of this quarter, the company plans to close upon existing agreements to acquire land in Dallas and Reno.

GIC partnered with Mount Elbert Capital Partners (Mount Elbert) and OPTrust to form the company.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
