Platform
DSG operates at the intersection of sovereign capital, hyperscale operator demand, and institutional investment.
Market Opportunity
The GCC Digital Infrastructure Opportunity
The GCC is undergoing a structural transformation in digital infrastructure, driven by sovereign digital mandates, hyperscale operator expansion, and increasing AI compute demand. DSG is positioned to capture this opportunity at its point of origin.
United Arab Emirates
The UAE is the GCC’s most mature data centre market. G42, Khazna, and major hyperscale capacity commitments from Microsoft, Google, and AWS have established the Emirates as a destination of global significance. Power availability is now the primary constraint — making power origination the defining differentiator for developers with sovereign utility relationships.
Saudi Arabia
Saudi Arabia represents the region’s highest-growth hyperscale opportunity. Vision 2030, NEOM, and SDAIA have positioned the Kingdom as a tier-one data centre destination. Local incentives and large-scale industrial land availability make KSA a compelling environment for developers with sovereign partnership capability.
AI Infrastructure Demand
The global AI compute build-out is the single largest driver of new hyperscale demand. GCC governments and operators are seeking AI-ready campus capacity at a speed that existing supply cannot accommodate. DSG’s development model, anchored by early power origination and integrated delivery, is designed specifically to meet this demand.

The Developer-Led Hyperscale Model
A disciplined, phase-by-phase development methodology, taking hyperscale data centre projects from site acquisition to
institutional-grade, income-producing assets. Each phase is designed to de-risk the next.

The GCC is undergoing structural transformation driven by sovereign digital mandates, hyperscale expansion, and AI compute demand. DSG is positioned to capture this opportunity at its origin.
02
Power Strategy
DSG secures formal grid allocation commitments directly with local stakeholders ahead of any capital deployment. Access to 50–200MW+ is the defining constraint in GCC development, utility relationships are DSG’s structural advantage.
03
Capital Structuring
Each development is structured through an SPV or JV, purposebuilt to institutional standards. Capital structures unite sovereign co-investment and institutional equity under a shared governance and reporting framework.
04
Pre-Committed Revenue
Hyperscale pre-lease agreements and LOIs from cloud and AI operators are secured before significant capital is committed, enabling efficient debt financing and providing the income
visibility required for institutional structuring.
05
Design & Delivery
DSG manages full design from concept through EPC procurement, supported by ISG Middle East and Jones MEP. Facilities meet hyperscale specifications and Uptime Institute Tier III standards, commissioned to IEC requirements with full ATP and Integrated Systems Testing.
06
Institutional Exit
DSG stabilises each facility post-commissioning, confirming contracted income before disposition. Exit structures — designed from inception, include direct SWF or fund sales, sale and leaseback, recapitalisation, and refinancing, delivering riskadjusted returns for all capital partners.

Capital Structure
DSG’s funding capability is underpinned by strategic relationships with US-based infrastructure capital advisors and institutional debt providers — enabling large-scale development finance packages aligned to hyperscale project timelines and sovereign investor expectations.
Through US strategic advisory relationships, DSG has access to infrastructure equity platforms, core and core-plus data centre fund mandates, real asset debt facilities, and mezzanine capital providers with extensive North American and European hyperscale experience — being actively structured for GCC deployment.
