KKR, a global investment firm, has announced plans to acquire a stake in Gulf Data Hub (GDH), a leading data centre platform in the Middle East. The investment will be made through KKR’s Global Infrastructure strategy, subject to regulatory approvals.
Established in 2012 and headquartered in Dubai, GDH operates seven data centres across the UAE and Saudi Arabia, with additional facilities planned in Kuwait, Qatar, Bahrain, and Oman. The company focuses on meeting the region’s growing demand for hyperscale data services.
Upon completion of the transaction, KKR and GDH have committed to supporting over $5 billion in total investment to expand GDH’s market position and international growth through both organic and inorganic strategies.
This investment marks KKR’s first data centre investment in the Middle East, adding to its global portfolio of hyperscale platforms.
