By Amit Chowdhry • Yesterday at 3:20 PM

GI Partners announced that it has completed the acquisition of two data centers located in Laurel, Maryland, and Severn, Maryland, strengthening the firm’s presence in one of the fastest-growing digital infrastructure markets in the United States.

The newly acquired portfolio is fully leased to a single tenant and is positioned within the Baltimore–Washington Corridor, a region that has become a critical hub for mission-critical digital infrastructure. The area continues to see strong demand due to its network density, growing technology ecosystem, and proximity to government and defense institutions.

Demand for data center capacity in the corridor has been supported by organizations operating in cybersecurity, healthcare, life sciences, and government IT, creating a diversified and resilient base of users requiring high-performance infrastructure.

The acquisition further expands GI Partners’ real estate and data infrastructure portfolio. To date, the firm has invested more than $8 billion across data centers and digital infrastructure assets. The portfolio now includes 78 data centers globally, reflecting the firm’s growing scale in supporting digital economy infrastructure.

Founded in 2001, GI Partners is a private investment firm with more than $49 billion raised from institutional investors worldwide. The firm operates across private equity, real estate, and data infrastructure strategies, investing primarily in healthcare, services, software, and specialized technology-oriented real estate.
