DigitalBridge Opens Tokyo Office to Expand Japan Platform
DigitalBridge opened a Tokyo office to expand its Japan platform, led by Soichiro Suda, a Managing Director who joined the firm in January 2026 and now heads its investment activities in the Japanese market. The firm's Japan portfolio spans the Nippon Gateway Infrastructure enterprise data center platform formed with JEXI and anchored by facilities acquired from NEC, independent tower company JTOWER, and Vantage Data Centers' hyperscale capacity in Osaka. CEO Marc Ganzi said Suda's leadership and the new office strengthen the firm's ability to support portfolio growth and invest behind Japan's demand for AI, cloud, and connectivity infrastructure. As context, Japan's government announced in June 2026 a long-term strategy calling for ¥101.6 trillion (approximately $630 billion) in combined public- and private-sector AI and semiconductor investment through 2040, a demand tailwind for the firm's digital infrastructure strategy.
