InfraVia Capital Partners has agreed to sell Swiss data centre operator Green Group AG to IFM Global Infrastructure Fund, a move marking a significant exit from the European infrastructure market.

While the deal value was not disclosed, earlier reports suggested a valuation of around €1bn ($1.1bn).

The agreement will see IFM acquire 100% of Green, which InfraVia originally purchased from Altice in 2017 for approximately $217m. The transaction is expected to close later this year.

Headquartered in Zurich, Green operates four data centre campuses across the region. These include Zurich West, Zurich Metro – comprising three new buildings spanning 46,000 sqm – Zurich City, and Zurich North. Under InfraVia’s ownership, Green has expanded its operational footprint and development capabilities.

Roger Suess, CEO of Green Group AG, stated: “We look forward to embarking on the next chapter of Green’s expansion in partnership with IFM Investors. Their proven sector expertise, expansive European infrastructure network, and robust financial resources will be instrumental in accelerating our growth strategy.”

Bruno Candes, Partner at InfraVia, added: “It has been a pleasure working with Green’s first-class management team over the past eight years. Green’s strong existing asset portfolio, relationships with key clients and stakeholders, and accumulated development and construction expertise leave the company well poised for the next chapter of its successful growth story.”

The transaction further highlights InfraVia’s ongoing momentum in infrastructure exits. The firm has previously invested in and exited multiple data and telecom assets, including NGD, Etix Everywhere, and Nexfibre.

Backed by UK and Australian pension funds, IFM Investors manages $153bn in assets and has been actively expanding its infrastructure portfolio. The group has previously invested in operators such as Switch and fiber network GlasfaserPlus.

This deal underscores growing investor appetite for digital infrastructure in Europe and reinforces IFM’s long-term strategy of backing mission-critical, sustainability-focused assets.
