Affinius Capital reached a second close for its Digital Economy Real Estate Partners Data Center Fund, raising $905.5 million of its $1 billion target through an investment from Montreal-based La Caisse de dépôt et placement du Québec. The fund, launched in late 2025, targets the development of hyperscale data centers in major U.S. markets with an expected final close scheduled for mid-2026. La Caisse, which manages funds for Quebec pension and insurance plans, disclosed its investment in the fund's 2025 annual report. The first close occurred in January 2026, with the fund aiming to capitalize on growing demand for data center infrastructure driven by cloud computing and AI workloads. This investment represents one of the largest commitments to a dedicated data center fund in recent years, signaling strong institutional confidence in the sector's long-term growth.
