Project Financing & Debt

Capital for the deals the banks overlook.

The AI buildout needs more debt than any balance sheet can carry. We originate and place it: project finance, private credit, and structured capital for the sponsors and projects that fall between a bank's box and a fund's mandate.

01 / The Gap

Even the hyperscalers cannot pay for this out of cash flow.

By 2028, data-center investment is set to run more than a trillion dollars past what the largest operators can self-fund. That gap is being filled by private credit, asset-backed debt, and structured capital, and it is growing faster than the institutions that serve it.

02 / What We Arrange

The whole capital stack, not one slice of it.

We source and place across the structures that finance AI infrastructure.

01

Project finance

Non-recourse debt sized to a project and its contracted cash flows, not the sponsor balance sheet.

02

Private credit

Flexible term debt from direct lenders, for borrowers the investment-grade bond market will not take.

03

Asset-backed debt

Bonds and notes secured on the leases, equipment, and revenue of stabilized facilities.

04

Construction debt

Capital to carry a project from ground-break to operating and stabilized.

05

Sale-leaseback & JV equity

Freeing capital out of owned assets, or bringing in a partner to share the build.

06

Equipment & mezzanine

Financing the long-lead gear, and the layer that sits between senior debt and equity.

03 / Where We Fit

We work the middle of the market.

The billion-dollar deals have their pick of banks. We take the bespoke ones: sponsors below investment grade, niche structures, and deals that need someone to assemble the stack rather than just quote it.

Sponsors, not just single names

We back developers and operators the bond market overlooks, and match them to lenders who will.

Structure, not just placement

We assemble the stack and shape the terms, rather than passing a deal through untouched.

Diligence in a hype market

In a market running on announcements, we underwrite what is real and deliverable.
