IFM Investors Completes Purchase of Swiss Data Centre Operator Green Group AG

Lupfig, Switzerland, October 30, 2025- IFM Global Infrastructure Fund, advised by IFM Investors, has completed its acquisition of Swiss data-centre operator Green Group AG from InfraVia European Fund III, a transaction the parties say will support Green’s next phase of expansion across Switzerland and into neighbouring markets. The deal, first announced in July and formally closed on October 30, transfers full ownership to IFM while retaining Green’s existing management team, which will remain invested alongside the new owner.

Green, headquartered in Lupfig, operates a portfolio of hyperscale and enterprise data-centre sites and holds long-term contracts with cloud providers and domestic corporate customers; the company has also been developing projects in Germany as it expands beyond the Swiss market. IFM framed the acquisition as a strategic fit for its infrastructure mandate, noting that Green’s local market position and pipeline of projects provide a platform for further growth under pension-fund backing.

The sale follows an agreement struck on July 10, 2025, between IFM’s Global Infrastructure Fund and InfraVia, the previous investor; parties did not disclose a definitive purchase price in their public statements. Market commentary and analyst pieces have suggested valuation signals in the region of roughly EUR 1 billion (USD 1.15 billion), but those figures remain industry estimates rather than confirmed deal terms. Neither IFM nor InfraVia published mandated regulatory filings that disclose a sale price at close.

Company statements and syndicated releases emphasise continuity of operations and an intention to accelerate Green’s development programme, including capacity growth and selective expansion in key European data-centre hubs. Green’s senior management is reported to reinvest alongside IFM, a move intended to preserve operational continuity and align incentives through the transition.

Local and industry observers note the transaction fits a broader wave of pension-backed infrastructure buyers increasing exposure to digital real assets across Europe. IFM’s purchase of Green follows its recent infrastructure deals and signals continued appetite among long-duration investors for data-centre platforms that combine steady contracted cashflows with capacity growth opportunities.

The parties say they will publish more details on Green’s forward strategy and planned investments in the coming months. For now, managers and clients have been reassured that Green will continue serving existing customers while accelerating site development where market conditions and permitting allow. Regulatory clearances and any remaining closing conditions were reported to be satisfied at the time of the announcement; implementation and detailed investment plans will be disclosed in subsequent corporate updates.
