Why I would buy and hold these top ASX growth shares. Let's see why these shares could be great long-term picks. Published October 29, 11:02 am AEDT I think the Australian share market is home to some outstanding ASX growth shares, and several still have plenty of opportunities ahead of them despite their success to date. Three in particular stand out to me as businesses that I would be happy to own for many years. Here's why I believe they could be excellent long-term investments. Goodman group (ASX: GMG). Goodman is increasingly a way to invest in the shortage of suitable data centre sites, not just demand for warehouses. Building a data centre requires more than land. Operators need large, reliable electricity connections in locations close to their customers, and securing those connections can take years. Goodman has spent years assembling sites with access to power in major cities. At the end of June, data centres represented 78% of its $19.7 billion development work in progress. That's a substantial amount of work capable of generating development earnings as projects are completed, alongside future property investment and management income. I like that this opportunity is already visible in its financial results. Thanks partly to a growing contribution from data centre developments, FY 2026 operating profit rose 15.7%. Looking ahead, Goodman is targeting 9% operating earnings per share growth in FY 2027. Life360 inc (ASX: 360). Life360's family safety app has an enormous audience. In the June quarter, monthly active users rose 16% to 102.4 million. The good news is that its paying customer base is growing even faster. It revealed that paying family groups increased 27% to 3.2 million, while average revenue per paying group also rose 5%. This helped subscription revenue jump 31% during the quarter. I believe there is plenty more growth to come as Life360 encourages more families to take out paid subscriptions for additional safety features. With more than 100 million people already using its app each month, I think the company has an enormous opportunity to grow its subscription business and become significantly more profitable over the next five years. Pro Medicus ltd (ASX: PME). Pro Medicus is another ASX growth share I'd happily hold for years. Its Visage software helps doctors view and analyse medical scans, and hospitals are increasingly choosing it to replace older systems. What encourages me is the evidence that customers want to stay. In FY 2026, Pro Medicus signed 10 new contracts worth at least $407 million and renewed all six agreements due for renewal, worth another $141 million. Its underlying EBIT margin reached 74.9%, demonstrating how successfully additional software revenue can translate into profit. And with opportunities in cardiology, digital pathology and artificial intelligence (AI), I don't think its growth story is close to finished. Its shares are expensive, but I believe its contract momentum and exceptional profitability make Pro Medicus an excellent candidate for a long-term investment.

Waste heat from Goodman data center in Frankfurt, Germany, to power district heating system. Firm will recover and supply 50MW to warm buildings and a swimming pool October 08, 2026 A new Goodman data center in Germany will provide waste heat for a district heating network. The Australian data center firm has signed a deal with the City of Neu-Isenburg, just south of Frankfurt, and the local utility, Stadtwerke Neu-Isenburg (SWNI), that will see it recover and provide up to 50MW from its planned FRA02 facility for the district heating network. SWNI will build and operate the district heating network, which will serve the south industrial estate (Gewerbegebiet Süd), the Neue Welt residential area and the Waldschwimmbad public pool, providing a local source of heat for 600 buildings and supporting the city's decarbonization strategy. FRA02 is currently under development at Rathenaustraße 29-31, in Neu-Isenburg. Topping out at the site occurred earlier this year, and when it comes into service in 2028, it will have an IT capacity of 54MW. Christof Prange, country manager for Germany at Goodman, said: "Recovering waste heat from FRA02 for use by local homes, businesses, and community facilities will deliver a meaningful long-term benefit for Neu-Isenburg. This outcome has been made possible by the strong collaboration between Goodman, the City of Neu-Isenburg, and SWNI over the past four years. "Together, we have worked through the technical, planning, and commercial requirements needed to turn our shared ambition into tangible infrastructure. The result is a data center that will support the city's digital growth while becoming part of its future heating solution. This is how we seek to create lasting value for the communities in which we invest." Goodman said work on a high-voltage substation for the site is on track for completion this year. The company has procured the land for SWNI's planned heating plant, which will commence construction in 2028, and will invest in the technical equipment required on the FRA02 site to connect the data center to the network. Dirk Gene Hagelstein, Mayor of Neu-Isenburg, said: "Decarbonizing our heat supply is a key priority for Neu-Isenburg, and FRA02 is helping turn that ambition into reality. This agreement enables SWNI to advance the waste heat project while building on the sustainability measures Goodman has embedded in the development, including a closed-loop cooling system to limit the use of drinking water, PV systems on the roofs, and a green facade. "Together, we are transforming a vacant industrial site, modernizing our heating network and delivering the benefits of digital infrastructure locally in Neu-Isenburg." Kirk Reineke, managing director, Stadtwerke Neu-Isenburg GmbH, added: "FRA02 will provide a valuable source of recovered heat for our district heating network and support our decarbonization goals. Projects like this depend on strong, long-term partnerships. Goodman and SWNI have worked closely together to address the technical and commercial challenges, creating a foundation for long-term success that will benefit the citizens of Neu-Isenburg." Goodman has data center projects on the go across Hong Kong, Australia, the US, Japan, as well as Germany. More in europe.
