SAN FRANCISCO, June 10, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Digital Realty (NYSE: DLR), a leading global provider of data center, colocation and interconnection solutions, announced today that its operating partnership, Digital Realty Trust, L.P. (the "operating partnership"), has priced an underwritten public offering of $900 million of 3.600% notes due 2029.  The notes will be senior unsecured obligations of the operating partnership and will be fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Digital Realty Trust, Inc.  The notes were issued at 99.823% of par value, with a coupon of 3.600% and will mature on July 1, 2029.
