5C
Purpose-built AI infrastructure and data centers — the physical substrate of the next decade of computing.
5C is an AI-infrastructure operator formed through the combination of 5C Data Centers and Hypertec Cloud. The platform designs, builds and operates state-of-the-art data centers for hyperscalers and high-performance computing customers, with more than 800 MW of secured, ready-to-deploy capacity across North America, Europe and Asia for 2025–2026.[1][2]
We hold a minority position taken in 2022. It is a long-dated bet on the physical substrate of computing — owned alongside operators who build what they run.
Why we own it.
The compute build-out is a real-asset story underneath a software headline. 5C is led by operators who treat each campus as a long-dated industrial asset — power, cooling, fiber, and a customer relationship that compounds. That is the kind of position we are comfortable holding through a cycle.
What it does.
5C designs, constructs and operates purpose-built AI data centers — including campuses in Columbus (CMH01) and Memphis (MEM01), with multi-hundred-MW expansion phases scheduled into 2027.[2]
Latest funding.
In July 2025, 5C secured $835 million in capital — equity led by Brookfield Asset Management and debt led by Deutsche Bank — to accelerate development of its data center campuses and AI infrastructure across North America, Europe and Asia.[3]
