BDx Secures Financing for the Expansion of its Hyperscale Data Center in Hong Kong
Hong Kong & Singapore – 13 May 2025 – BDx Data Centers (BDx), one of the fastest-growing data center operators in the Asia-Pacific, announced the successful closing of project financing in relation to the development of its first dedicated hyperscale data center in Hong Kong. This project financing has been secured from Clifford Capital, UOB, and SMBC.
The loan marks BDx’s debut in the Hong Kong market and underscores its access to debt financing across geographies, with strong backing from leading infrastructure lenders in APAC. This loan is BDx’s third project financing facility, after two other loans in Singapore and Indonesia, and demonstrates lenders’ confidence in BDx’s ability to deliver across the various markets it operates in.
The financing will be used for the development of, and operating expenses for, BDx’s latest state-of-the-art hyperscale data center, strategically located in Kwai Chung, one of Hong Kong’s most sought-after digital infrastructure zones. Designed in close collaboration with its anchor hyperscale customer, this facility is built to exacting technical specifications with an emphasis on energy efficiency.
“This successful financing reflects our unwavering commitment to accelerating digital transformation across Asia,” said Mayank Srivastava, CEO, BDx Data Centers. “Our data center in Hong Kong is a flagship facility designed for scale, performance, and sustainability. This also highlights BDx’s capability of consistently solving for customer requirements within challenging timelines.”
“This transaction aligns with our focus on enabling transformative infrastructure projects that drive digital growth across Asia. BDx’s strong track record and technical capabilities make them an ideal partner for this venture,” said Murli Maiya, Group Chief Executive Officer of Clifford Capital.
“We are pleased to finance BDx’s first dedicated hyperscale data center in Hong Kong. Green data centers are a promising growth area driven by the increasing demand for digital infrastructure and the growing global focus on sustainability. As a proactive bank helping ASEAN businesses achieve their sustainability goals, we look forward to partnering BDx in their ambitions in ASEAN, Greater China and beyond,” said Lim Lay Wah, Group Head of Sector Solutions and Global Financial Institutions Group, UOB.
Luca Tonello, Managing Director, Chair, Sector Banking Asia Pacific, said: “SMBC is pleased to have partnered with BDx on their first landmark structured debt financing project in the Hong Kong data center market. This transaction reflects our continued commitment to supporting our clients’ growth and success across key global markets, leveraging on our capabilities in tailoring bespoke financing solutions in the fast-growing digital infrastructure sector.”
The new facility will integrate with BDx’s existing portfolio, which now covers data centers and edge sites across various locations in Singapore, Indonesia, Hong Kong SAR, and Taiwan region.
