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.

While the company is yet to reveal exactly how much it has raised, or even the IT load capacity of the data center it is planning to build in Hong Kong, it said in a press release that this project financing has been secured from Clifford Capital, UOB, and SMBC. The loan marks BDx’s debut in the Hong Kong market, and it is BDx’s third project financing facility, after two other loans in Singapore and Indonesia.
“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.
