In December 2025, InfraRed Capital Partners (InfraRed), through its global core infrastructure strategy, completed the acquisition of the data centre business (Rogers Data Centre Platform) from Rogers Communications Inc. The transaction includes nine data centres across Canada, located in major business hubs including Vancouver, Calgary, Edmonton, Mississauga, Markham, Ottawa, and Montreal. Following completion, the data centres operate as a standalone Canadian platform under a new brand.
The acquisition aligns with InfraRed's strategy to invest in long-term, essential digital infrastructure assets, providing access to a diversified, contracted business with significant long-term growth potential underpinned by strong macroeconomic tailwinds and capacity-constrained markets. The data centre business has been part of Rogers since 2012 and provides colocation, cloud services and managed services to a diverse, blue-chip customer base across the financial services, government, technology and other sectors. The platform is supported by a network of 16 data centres, including the nine acquired by InfraRed and seven leased facilities at major colocation hubs across Canada. Rogers will continue to be a customer of the new platform under a long-term colocation and connectivity arrangement and will retain its enterprise customer relationships and connectivity services as a separate offering.
Norton Rose Fulbright Canada LLP advised InfraRed Capital Partners on the transaction, with a team comprising Douglas Buchanan, Janet Grove, Eric Malysa, and Chris Horte.
