Data Center Project Financing Services
Building and scaling data centers demands capital-intensive structures, with investors scrutinizing every aspect of power availability, connectivity, and contracted occupancy. Financely raises $50M–$750M
in debt, mezzanine, and equity for data center sponsors, whether for hyperscale campuses, colocation facilities, or regional edge centers. Our role is to close financing efficiently, with tailored capital stacks that reflect long-term digital infrastructure demand.
Outcome:
Sponsors secure full capital stacks for data centers, de-risked with anchor tenants and power agreements, enabling projects to break ground and achieve operational milestones.
Senior Debt
Senior lenders will typically finance 40%–60% of total project costs, secured against long-term leases and power purchase agreements. Financely places loans with international banks, digital infrastructure lenders, and export credit agencies, aligning amortization schedules with contracted cash flows.
Mezzanine Capital
To bridge the gap between senior debt and equity, mezzanine tranches cover 10%–20% of project costs. This capital is typically priced at 10%–14% IRR and may include warrants or revenue participation. Financely works with infrastructure credit funds to structure subordinated financing that does not dilute sponsor ownership.
Equity & Joint Ventures
Data center development requires 25%–35% equity, often sourced from infrastructure funds, REITs, and strategic partners. Financely arranges preferred equity, co-investments, and joint venture structures between developers and institutional capital, ensuring alignment across stakeholders while maximizing leverage.
