Aligned Data Centers is a Dallas-based developer and operator of hyperscale and AI data center campuses, founded in 2013. In July 2026 a consortium of AIP, MGX and BlackRock's Global Infrastructure Partners completed its acquisition at an enterprise value of about $40 billion. Aligned reports 51 campuses and more than 6.4 GW of operational and planned capacity across the Americas.
Aligned designs, builds and operates data center campuses for hyperscalers, neocloud providers and enterprises. Its offers are Gigascale campuses, Build-to-Scale deployments and Multi-Tenant Enterprise colocation, using patented and patent-pending air, liquid and hybrid cooling systems for high-density AI workloads.

Macquarie Asset Management owned Aligned from 2018, when it had two operational facilities and 85 MW of critical capacity. On July 21, 2026, AIP, MGX and BlackRock's GIP closed the purchase of 100% of the equity and committed a further $5 billion of growth capital. CEO Andrew Schaap continues to lead the company.

Aligned is one of the largest private hyperscale developers in the Americas. It is most relevant to buyers needing large, dense capacity blocks rather than small retail colocation.
