Stonepeak, a New York city-based alternative investment firm specializing in infrastructure and real assets, has rolled out Montera Infrastructure, a North American hyperscale-focused data center development company.
Working with a $1.5 billion equity commitment, Montera will create and operate turnkey, build-to-suit data centers to support cloud computing and AI inferencing workloads for hyperscale customers across North America. The company said it will focus on land parcels with a clear path to near-term power in Tier I and Tier II metro areas and plans to construct and operate 100-plus megawatt facilities.
Montera is led by company founder and CEO Eanna Murphy, formerly a data center executive at Yondr and Google, along with Chief Technology Officer Craig Pennington (formerly Oracle and Equinix) and Chief Delivery Officer Joe Walsh (formerly Oracle and Equinix).
“Montera was born from a simple conviction: the digital future demands infrastructure that is faster, smarter, and built with intent,” said Murphy. “With a significant capital commitment from Stonepeak and a team of seasoned hyperscale experts, we are well-positioned to lead the next wave of development across North America. Our mission is to deliver strategically located and scalable digital infrastructure that is engineered for rapid deployment and reliability so that our partners can focus on what matters most.”
