Blackstone Offloads Stakes in Trio of Virginia Data Centers

Blackstone is selling its stakes in three Northern Virginia data centers for $3.5 billion, trimming exposure after making the investment less than three years ago. The cash-out suggests a successful partial exit and improved portfolio liquidity, but the article provides no further detail on gains vs. entry price. Overall, the deal is likely meaningful for the involved real-estate/data-center assets, though not broad market-moving.
