12:46 PM EDT, 07/08/2026 (MT Newswires) -- Blue Owl Capital (OWL) said Wednesday that funds it manages launched Kirkwood Infrastructure Group, a wholly owned developer and operator of communications infrastructure in the US.

The unit will develop, own and operate advanced conduit, high-count fiber optic cable and related communications infrastructure assets to support hyperscale customers, data center operators, communications carriers and local communities.

Kirkwood has integrated the operations of Florida-based South Reach Networks, including nearly 400 miles of network, and is constructing more than 200 miles of conduit and high-capacity fiber cable across Louisiana and Mississippi to support hyperscale data center development.

Chief Executive Scott Bergs will lead Kirkwood, which will operate independently of Blue Owl's investment in Texas-based Gigabit Fiber, the company said.
