TPG is in exclusive negotiations to acquire Netrality Data Centers from Macquarie Asset Management, in a deal that could value the data center operator between $2 billion and $3 billion. If finalized, it would rank among the largest data center transactions of 2026.

What Netrality brings to the table

Netrality runs 18 facilities across North America, spanning 3.3 million square feet with over 100 megawatts of capacity. That makes it the largest privately held operator of core network interconnection sites in the US.

Macquarie Asset Management picked up a majority stake in Netrality back in September 2019, acquiring it from Abrams Capital Management. A $605 million financing round in July 2025 positioned the business for exactly the kind of exit that now appears to be taking shape.
