The rapid growth of cloud computing, artificial intelligence, and enterprise data usage is driving unprecedented demand for large-scale data center infrastructure across the United States. Developers and operators must navigate a unique set of challenges—from securing power and utility agreements to managing long lead times on critical equipment, meeting pre-lease requirements, and navigating the regulatory landscape that governs large-scale infrastructure deployment. 

​

On the financing front, these mission-critical facilities require significant capital investment, often via syndicated loans and structured financing solutions designed to support multi-billion-dollar development sites. These core competencies along with the sophisticated technical underwriting and the expertise to navigate complex development timelines and operating environments are driving hyperscalers to find high capacity and highly capable partners from the commercial banking sector to support their needs. 

​

As part of the Bank Hapoalim Group, BHI has the expertise and resources to support experienced data center developers and operators at every stage of the project lifecycle. Your BHI relationship manager works directly with your team to structure financing solutions tailored to the specific demands of each project—whether you are developing new capacity, expanding an existing campus, or refinancing a stabilized asset.

Our Data Center Financing Solutions 

• Construction Financing 

BHI provides senior secured construction facilities to support the ground-up development as well as build-out of data center facilities, structured around project milestones and tied to the underlying lease or pre-lease commitments of creditworthy tenants. 

 

• Predevelopment and Development Facilities 

For sponsors in the early stages of site control, permitting, and utility procurement, BHI offers predevelopment credit facilities that allow operators to advance their pipeline without constraining their balance sheet. 

 

• Term and Bridge Financing 

For stabilized or near-stabilized assets, BHI structures term and bridge loan facilities that support recapitalizations, acquisitions, and transitions to permanent capital. And as projects move from construction into operations we can play an important role in refinancing construction debt and helping operators access additional sources of capital through the broader credit markets. 

 

• Portfolio and Platform Financing 

For developers and operators managing a growing portfolio of data center assets, BHI can structure revolving and multi-asset facilities that provide scalable capital to support platform growth.
