John Carrafiell, co-CEO of BGO added: “BGO in Europe has long been at the forefront of modern, infrastructure-like industrial real estate investing, and an early mover in the sustainable data center sector. Today’s announcement with Bulk Infrastructure reaffirms our steadfast commitment to pursuing growth in data infrastructure that will play a critical role in serving the industries of tomorrow. Going forward, BGO will continue to support Bulk and its management team with its expertise and capital to enable Bulk to realize the generational opportunities we see today for AI-ready, GPU-based data centers.”
