Infrastructure & Energy Deals

The infrastructure investment sector saw significant activity as LS Power secured a $5 billion regulatory sweetener for a natural gas project, even as broader US data centre growth decelerated by 50 percent according to the latest pipeline analysis. Elsewhere, Quinbrook is establishing an in-house construction division in Australia to gain better control over execution amid a tight labour market for its battery storage pipeline. This focus on operational control contrasts with valuation caution expressed by Igneo Infrastructure Partners, whose global head stated a preference for quarterly valuations to avoid explaining portfolio declines to clients.

This latest purchase brings the total number of similar UK properties managed by Hines through its HEPP fund to eight, indicating continued confidence in last-mile distribution assets despite broader economic uncertainty.
