If finalized, it would rank among the largest data center transactions of 2026.\n\n## What Netrality brings to the table\n\nNetrality 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.\n\nMacquarie 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.\n\n## The broader data center gold rush\n\nThis deal doesn’t exist in a vacuum. The data center sector has been on a tear, with competitors like DataBank and EdgeCore also attracting significant investor interest.\n\nA transaction could be finalized as early as fall 2026.\n\n**Disclosure:** This article was edited by Editorial Team.
