DigitalBridge Group has secured $11.7 billion in combined commitments for DigitalBridge Partners III, comprising $7.2 billion in fund commitments and $4.5 billion in LP co-investment commitments. The raise marks one of the firm’s most significant capital-raising milestones to date and positions the platform to meaningfully expand into infrastructure areas that support AI and hyperscale computing.
The firm reported strong participation from limited partners, with more than 65% of commitments coming from existing investors in the DigitalBridge Partners fund series. New backers also joined from Asia Pacific, Europe, and North America. DigitalBridge said the significant co-investment participation demonstrates investor interest in scaling capital into digital infrastructure opportunities, especially those tied to hyperscale data centers and AI-optimized assets.
DigitalBridge noted that DBP III is already deploying capital into several next-generation platforms where the firm identified growth potential early. The fund has built a diversified portfolio that includes Vantage Data Centers North America, Yondr Group, Orange Barrel Media, FiberNow, and JTOWER. These early investments reflect DigitalBridge’s strategy of focusing on areas where it has deep operating expertise and where active ownership can unlock long-term value.
Founded on decades of experience across towers, fiber, data centers, small cells, and edge infrastructure, DigitalBridge manages $108 billion in infrastructure assets. The firm said DBP III is intended to maintain flexibility and scale as it targets high-conviction opportunities in the rapidly expanding digital infrastructure ecosystem.
