Realty Income, Cloud Capital and an institutional investor launched a core joint venture seeded with over $6 billion of stabilized hyperscale data center assets leased under long-duration, triple-net leases to investment-grade tenants. The JV will leverage Cloud Capital's integrated platform and aims to expand beyond the U.S. into Europe.
Realty Income partnered with Cloud Capital and a global institutional investor to launch a Core Joint Venture Strategy. The programmatic JV is seeded with three initial investments valued at over $6 billion and focuses on stabilized hyperscale data center assets.
The initial portfolio comprises tier-one data centers leased to investment-grade tenants under long-duration, triple-net agreements. These assets offer predictable cash flows and align with Realty Income’s focus on reliable, recurring revenue streams.
While the JV currently targets stabilized U.S. data centers, the partners intend to extend the strategy into European markets. This expansion aims to diversify the asset base and capture growing demand for digital infrastructure globally.
This joint venture enhances Realty Income’s digital infrastructure exposure and leverages Cloud Capital’s sourcing and management capabilities. The transaction supports the REIT’s long-term growth objectives by adding high-barrier-to-entry assets with resilient cash flows.
