LONDON – THURSDAY 30 JULY 2026 – Yondr Group (“Yondr”), a leading owner and operator of hyperscale data centres, has entered into an agreement to sell a majority interest in one of its UK data centre campuses to UK investment fund GLIL Infrastructure LLP (“GLIL”), the long-term investor established by pension funds to invest collaboratively in Infrastructure across the UK and Europe.
Yondr will retain a minority ownership interest in the asset, and continue to be responsible for its operational management, following completion of the transaction.
The asset comprises two fully operational hyperscale data centre buildings located in Slough in the UK, one of Europe’s most established data centre markets, and serves a leading hyperscale customer. The transaction enables Yondr to realise value from the stabilised asset while maintaining a long-term role in its operation and future success.
The agreement also enables GLIL to become a majority owner of an attractive asset and further expand GLIL’s digital infrastructure portfolio, which includes an investment in Cornerstone, the UK’s largest mobile tower company.
Aaron Wangenheim, Chief Executive Officer at Yondr, said: “This transaction represents another important milestone in Yondr’s long-term growth strategy. Bringing GLIL on board as an investment partner allows us to realise value from a high-quality, stabilised asset while remaining invested in its future and continuing to operate the campus on behalf of our customer.
Lee Belfield, Investment Director at LPPI and GLIL Infrastructure, said: “Digital infrastructure is increasingly fundamental to the UK’s economy, and hyperscale data centres are critical to supporting growing demand for cloud services and artificial intelligence. This investment reflects GLIL’s strategy of partnering with high-quality operators to invest in essential infrastructure that delivers resilient, long-term value for our pension fund members.
“Yondr has developed a high-quality asset with a strong operational track record, and we look forward to commencing a long-term partnership with the Yondr team.”
The transaction is expected to close in the coming months, subject to closing conditions and applicable approvals.
