Expert Statements
Jay Chandan, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Gorilla
“This is a defining step in Gorilla's expansion into the United States. We have spent considerable time evaluating how we enter this market and we believe the right approach is to own and control the infrastructure that sits underneath the AI economy. We are not entering the United States simply to acquire a building. We are establishing the first piece of what we aim to become a significant AI infrastructure business. The combination of power, infrastructure, connectivity and customer demand gives us the opportunity to build something considerably larger from this initial platform. Our objective is to control more of the infrastructure stack supporting our customers. Owning the data-centre platform gives us greater control over deployment timelines, power, cooling and operating economics. Combined with customer-led GPU deployment, we believe that creates a significantly stronger long-term business model. We see the proposed acquisition as the foundation for a much broader US strategy. Our ambition is to build beyond 100 MW over the next 12-18 months, combining owned infrastructure, AI compute capacity and long-term customer relationships. We intend to move quickly, build intelligently and create a platform capable of supporting customers at meaningful scale.”
Bruce Bower, Chief Financial Officer of Gorilla
“We see an opportunity to build a meaningful US infrastructure platform with considerable long-term value. Our focus is on acquiring infrastructure that has both immediate utility and substantial expansion potential while maintaining disciplined investment criteria as we scale. This first acquisition is intended to establish a strong operating base from which we can pursue additional capacity, customer-led deployments and future strategic opportunities across the United States.”
* Proposed first US data-centre acquisition offers expansion potential to 36 MW of total site power capacity, marking Gorilla's planned entry into the US AI infrastructure market and establishing the foundation for a scalable domestic platform - * Broader US expansion strategy targets more than 100 MW of capacity over the next 12-18 months, combining owned infrastructure, customer-led GPU deployments and dedicated project financing to accelerate Gorilla's next phase of growth -
