Stonepeak Injects USD 1.3bn into Princeton Digital Group to Power Asia-Pacific Data Boom
In one of the year’s largest digital infrastructure investments in Asia, U.S.-based alternative investment giant Stonepeak Partners has committed USD 1.3bn to Princeton Digital Group (PDG), a fast-growing, Singapore-headquartered data center operator. The deal, announced via Stonepeak’s website, marks a pivotal moment for PDG as it accelerates its expansion across the Asia-Pacific region.
Founded in 2017, PDG has rapidly become a key player in the region’s digital infrastructure landscape, offering data center development, wholesale capacity, and operational services tailored to hyperscalers and enterprise clients. With a footprint that spans high-growth markets such as India, Indonesia, China, and Japan, the company has positioned itself at the intersection of cloud adoption, data localization, and digital transformation sweeping across the region.
The USD 1.3 billion investment will fuel PDG’s next phase of growth, focused on both greenfield developments and strategic acquisitions across mature and emerging Asia-Pacific markets. Backed by Stonepeak’s infrastructure expertise and financial firepower—managing USD 73 billion in assets globally—PDG is now poised to meet the surging demand for AI-ready, hyperscale capacity.
The move comes amid a tidal wave of investment in Asia’s digital infrastructure, driven by the explosive growth in cloud computing, AI applications, and mobile connectivity. Recent landmark deals, including KKR’s USD 1.3bn joint investment with Singtel in ST Telemedia Global Data Centres, and Digital Edge’s USD 1.6bn capital raise, reflect the region’s strategic importance and investor appetite for scalable, data-centric platforms.
Stonepeak’s investment in PDG is a strong bet on resilient, capital-intensive infrastructure that can deliver long-term value. It also signals growing interest in digital platforms that combine regional scale, technical depth, and operational excellence.
PDG’s founding investor Warburg Pincus will remain the company’s largest shareholder post-transaction, underscoring continued confidence in its strategy and leadership. Warburg has played a key role in PDG’s rise from startup to regional heavyweight and will remain closely involved as the company scales further.
This deal not only reinforces PDG’s position as a leading data center operator in Asia-Pacific but also highlights a broader shift in infrastructure investing—where digital assets in high-growth markets are increasingly seen as essential, long-term bets. With Stonepeak’s backing, PDG is now well-equipped to power the next phase of Asia’s digital economy.
