"Macquarie Capital takes Zerra stake after $30 billion Queensland data-centre deal" — AFR (Australian Financial Review) · Australia
Macquarie Capital has acquired a stake in Singapore-based developer Zerra DC, following a massive $30 billion deal to build a data centre in Queensland, Australia. This investment expands Macquarie's exposure to the AI-driven demand for data infrastructure, with the project likely being one of the largest in the region.
The claim is solid, reported by the Australian Financial Review (AFR), a reputable secondary source. The primary source is likely Macquarie Capital's official announcement or a press release, and the AFR's reporting is close to that source, providing specific details like the $30 billion figure and the involvement of Zerra DC.
This is genuinely new, published on October 2, 2026, as per the grounding window.
