Silver Lake has unveiled a $400 million digital infrastructure platform aimed at building a global portfolio of strategically located “powered land” sites to meet the accelerating demand for data centers.  

The Menlo Park-based private equity firm has partnered with Adam Fisher and Peter Rumbold of Commonwealth Asset Management, merging Silver Lake’s relationships in the technology ecosystem and expertise in data center development with Fisher and Rumbold’s track record in real estate and infrastructure investing. 

The platform is already active and pursuing opportunities in high-growth markets across the U.S., Canada, and the U.K. 

“This investment represents a long-term commitment to not only meeting the immediate needs of AI-driven data center growth but also positioning the company as a leader in the future of digital infrastructure and a one-stop shop for rapidly growing developers and hyperscalers,” said Lee Wittlinger, Managing Director at Silver Lake. The firm currently manages $103 billion in assets and holds a portfolio of companies generating nearly $254 billion in annual revenue. 

The launch follows Silver Lake’s June 2025 collaboration with DigitalBridge Group on an oversubscribed and upsized $9.2 billion investment in Vantage Data Centers, underscoring the firm’s aggressive push into the sector.
