Macquarie Infrastructure & Real Assets struck a deal to buy a majority interest in data center operator AirTrunk in a transaction that values the company at approximately A$3 billion, Bloomberg News reported, citing people with knowledge of the matter.

AirTrunk CEO Robin Khuda will retain a minority stake after the deal, the unnamed sources told the news outlet.

The infrastructure arm of Macquarie Group Ltd. was recently reported to be the preferred bidder for AirTrunk, which is owned by investors including Goldman Sachs Group Inc.'s special situations unit and private equity firm TPG Sixth Street Partners.

The news outlet could not get a comment on the matter from Macquarie, Goldman or TPG.
