Aligned Data Centers has closed a $2.58 billion credit facility to support the expansion of its U.S. data center portfolio. The company was acquired by the Artificial Intelligence Infrastructure Partnership (AIP) for $40 billion in 2025, which included BlackRock, Nvidia, Microsoft, and others.
The new credit facility is supported by insurance, pension fund, and other institutional capital and is secured by an initial collateral pool of six assets within Aligned’s U.S. portfolio. It has an initial term of three years, with two one-year extension options.
“This innovative Devco Facility unlocks substantial additional borrowing capacity, serving as a powerful catalyst to drive Aligned’s continued growth,” said Meghan Baivier, CFO of Aligned Data Centers. “At Aligned, we are deeply focused on cultivating strong partnerships that are enduring in nature. We are incredibly excited to continue our relationship with the institutional lending community as we look to grow in the future. This structure represents a completely new tool in our toolkit, giving us enhanced flexibility as we scale our operations to meet growing customer demand.”
