SINGAPORE, May 13 (Reuters) - BDx Data Centers said on

Tuesday that it has secured project financing from

infrastructure credit firm Clifford Capital, Singapore's United

Overseas Bank and Japan's Sumitomo Mitsui Banking

Corporation for the development of its first hyperscale data

centre in Hong Kong.

The Asia-Pacific data centre operator said in a statement

that the loan marks its debut in the Hong Kong market and its

third project financing facility, after two other loans in

Singapore and Indonesia.

Financial details were not disclosed.

BDx added that the financing will be used for the

development of, and operating expenses for, the hyperscale data

centre located in Kwai Chung, Hong Kong.

BDx is a portfolio company of U.S.-headquartered

infrastructure investor I Square Capital, which manages over $40

billion in assets globally, according to their websites.

BDx said in the statement that it continues to grow its

portfolio in Asia rapidly with a long-term goal of deploying 1

gigawatt of capacity.

BDx's expansion comes at a time when investor appetite for

data centres is growing in Asia, driven by demand for artificial

intelligence and cloud computing-based services.
