The €560 million debt financing secured by TIP marks a pivotal development for DigitalBridge’s (DBRG) InfraBridge division. The transaction’s scale relative to DBRG’s
TIP’s ability to secure this substantial financing package in under three years of operations validates DBRG’s strategic investment thesis in the telecom infrastructure space. The partnership with Swiss Life Asset Managers, which manages
For DBRG shareholders, this financing represents a positive catalyst as it enables accelerated growth in the telecom infrastructure segment without immediate capital calls from the parent company. The structure leverages DBRG’s expertise while maintaining balance sheet flexibility.
The ground lease aggregation model that TIP employs is particularly compelling in the current market environment. By acquiring long-term or perpetual rights to rental income from telecom sites, TIP creates a predictable revenue stream backed by mission-critical infrastructure assets. This financing package will enable rapid scaling of this strategy.

The involvement of Swiss Life Asset Managers, known for their conservative, long-term investment approach, validates the stability and growth potential of this business model.
Think of this as creating a toll-road system for telecom infrastructure – instead of collecting fees from vehicles, TIP collects rent from towers and other telecom assets. This model typically generates stable, inflation-protected cash flows with minimal operational overhead.
