Data Centre Project Finance.
Financing a data centre and digital infrastructure project requires debt structured against the project's own future cash flows and construction risk, not just the sponsor's balance sheet — sized to the project's specific economics and timeline.
Project Cost Funding · Construction-Linked Disbursement · Long-Tenor Debt
Where This Applies
- A new data centre facility needs debt structured against construction cost and anchor client commitments.
- Power availability and connectivity are central to a data centre's bankability.
- Anchor tenant or hyperscaler commitments materially de-risk the financing case ahead of completion.
- Specialised MEP and cooling infrastructure carry higher capex intensity than standard commercial construction.
How We Approach It
Power availability and anchor client commitments drive data centre underwriting more than standard leasing metrics, so we lead with those before sizing debt against the capex-intensive MEP and cooling build-out.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is data centre project finance?
Data Centre Project Finance is long-term debt structured against the cost, construction timeline and projected cash flows of a data centre and digital infrastructure project, rather than the sponsor's existing balance sheet alone.
What makes data centre project finance different from standard commercial real estate finance?
Data centres carry higher capex intensity for power and cooling infrastructure, and lenders weigh power availability and anchor client commitments more heavily than typical leasing metrics.
