DBRG

Digitalbridge Group, Inc.

A global investment firm that owns and runs the physical backbone of the internet—data centers, cell towers, fiber networks, and the small-cell gear that powers 5G—for pension funds, insurers, and sovereign wealth funds. It began in 1991 as Colony Capital, a real-estate firm founded by Thomas Barrack to buy up distressed properties after the savings-and-loan crisis. In 2019 it acquired Digital Bridge Holdings, and in 2021 it rebranded as DigitalBridge, reviving that name to signal its full turn from hotels and offices toward digital infrastructure.
