Colony Capital was a diversified real estate and hospitality investment firm founded by Tom Barrack in 1991. In June 2021 the company rebranded as DigitalBridge Group, Inc. (NYSE: DBRG) — completing a multi-year pivot from traditional real estate to pure-play digital infrastructure investing. The Boca Raton, FL-based alternative asset manager now operates exclusively across five digital infrastructure categories: data centers, macro cell towers, fiber networks, small cells, and edge infrastructure. DigitalBridge manages approximately $119B in assets across 45+ portfolio companies including Vantage Data Centers, DataBank, Switch, Vertical Bridge, Zayo Group, GD Towers, Boingo Wireless, AtlasEdge, Scala Data Centers, Yondr Group, and ExteNet Systems. In December 2025 SoftBank Group announced a definitive agreement to acquire DigitalBridge for approximately $4 billion, with the deal expected to close in the second half of 2026. DigitalBridge itself publishes no developer API, SDK, or public OpenAPI surface — it is a holding company whose programmable surface lives inside its individual portfolio companies (e.g., Zayo, DataBank, Switch), each of which is profiled separately in the API Evangelist network.
