News Summary

Rogers Communications Inc. has announced the sale of its portfolio of nine data centres to InfraRed Capital Partners, a digital infrastructure investor owned by Sun Life. This move is part of Rogers’ strategy to offload non-core assets and reduce debt. Despite the sale, Rogers will continue to market data centre services on behalf of InfraRed and provide network connectivity to the facilities. The transaction, which does not include Rogers’ corporate data centres, is expected to close by the end of 2025, subject to regulatory approval. The portfolio includes nine Tier 2 and 3 facilities located in major Canadian cities, offering colocation, cloud, and managed services with a total capacity of up to 49 megawatts. InfraRed sees this investment as an opportunity to capitalize on the growing demand for secure and reliable data centre services in Canada.
