CBRE expansion in data center infrastructure services

Overview

The acquisition, valued at an initial £460 million (approximately $613 million) with potential earnouts of up to £300 million, aims to bolster CBRE’s Critical Infrastructure Services business line.

Following the announcement of the deal, CBRE reported a 12.7% increase in third-quarter revenue to $11.517 billion. The company noted that its technical infrastructure services revenue grew by 80%, driven largely by the data center sector. Management expects this segment to reach nearly $7 billion in revenue by 2027. To sustain this momentum, CBRE is prioritizing mergers and acquisitions over share buybacks.
