Flexential, a provider of secure and flexible data center solutions, has established an $800 million credit facility to accelerate the development of new data center capacity in markets where the company’s customers are growing and demand continues to build.
The financing will support more than 130 megawatts (MW) of new capacity across four key markets in Flexential’s national platform, providing a scalable source of capital to build ahead of enterprise and AI-driven infrastructure needs. Projects currently under construction include a 36 MW facility in Atlanta-Douglasville, Georgia; a 36 MW facility in Portland-Hillsboro, Oregon; and a 22.5 MW facility in Denver-Parker, Colorado. Also planned are another 36 MW facility in Portland-Hillsboro and a 4.5 MW expansion adjacent to Flexential’s existing operations in Atlanta-Norcross, Georgia.
“We are collaborating closely with our customers and partners and making infrastructure investments today based on where we know they are growing,” Ryan Mallory, CEO of Flexential, said. “Our customers are planning years in advance, and they need confidence that the capacity, density and connectivity they’ll need will be there when they’re ready. This financing gives us the ability to invest ahead of that demand and deliver the infrastructure to support their growth.”
The new facility creates a dedicated financing vehicle for Flexential’s development portfolio, providing committed capital to support projects as they move from planning through construction and delivery. It also builds on Flexential’s broader investment strategy to expand capacity across its national footprint while maintaining the flexibility to respond to evolving customer requirements.
The $800 million facility was oversubscribed and upsized 60% from the initial target of $500 million due to strong demand. The facility is supported by a syndicate of 11 digital infrastructure banks and complements ongoing equity investment from Flexential’s sponsors, GI Partners and MSIP. TD Securities served as administrative agent and joint coordinating lead arranger and joint bookrunner. RBC Capital Markets and J.P. Morgan served as joint coordinating lead arrangers and joint bookrunners. Goldman Sachs, ING, SMBC, Bank of America and KeyBanc served as joint lead arrangers. Flagstar, Citibank and Investec served as co-documentation agents. Simpson Thacher was Flexential’s legal advisor for the transaction.
