Blackstone is planning to invest $30 billion in Japan’s AI data centers over the next three to five years, its president and chief operating officer Jonathan Gray told Nikkei in a recent interview.
The world’s largest alternative asset manager is in discussions to develop facilities exceeding 1 gigawatt in the country, the report said, citing Gray.
Blackstone did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for comment. It also plans to accelerate its private equity investments in Japan, the company said.
Earlier this month, Blackstone had raised $13.1 billion for its Asia private equity fund, exceeding its initial target and marking its largest such fundraise in the region.
