Digital Realty acquires Blackstone JV interests for ~$3.5B and doubles capacity under development to 1,402 MW as AI demand accelerates global expansion.

Digital Realty's most consequential move in H1 2026 is the $3.5 billion buyout of Blackstone's joint venture interests in two Northern Virginia campuses, converting a minority stake into full ownership of assets expected to stabilize in 2027-2028. Simultaneously, the company nearly doubled its capacity under development to 1,402 MW — an 82% increase from year-end 2025 — with 54% pre-leased, signaling that demand absorption is keeping pace with an aggressive build cycle. Revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2026 reached $3.56 billion, up 22.7% versus the prior-year period, driven by non-stabilized portfolio ramp (up 41.5%) and a $201 million one-time promote income from the same Blackstone transaction.
