Headquartered in Boca Raton, DigitalBridge has offices in Los Angeles, New York, Denver, London, and Singapore. As of June 2025, DigitalBridge had US$106 billion of assets under management.

Colony purchased Raffles International on July 18, 2005. This included the 41 hotels and resorts operated under the Raffles Hotel and Swissotel brand names.

On February 25, 2007, it signed a definitive agreement to take Station Casinos private in a 75%/25% split with members of the founding Fertitta family for US$5.5 billion, or US$90/share. The subsequent economic downturn caused Station Casinos to declare bankruptcy in 2009, and when it emerged in 2011 Colony Capital owned a much smaller portion after providing more cash. Founder, chairman, and CEO Thomas Barrack said it "could have been the worst investment ever" in terms of timing.
On November 11, 2008, Michael Jackson transferred the title of his 2,700 acre estate Neverland Ranch to Sycamore Valley Ranch Company LLC, a joint venture between Jackson (represented by attorney, L.

Jackson earned a total of US$35 million when he agreed to the joint venture between himself and Colony Capital.
