White & Case has advised lenders on a USD575 million inaugural holding company financing for Stonepeak-backed Digital Edge, a Singapore-based developer and operator of data centres across the Asia-Pacific region.
The financing will support Digital Edge’s continued regional expansion, including into key markets such as South Korea, Japan, India and Southeast Asia, as demand for hyperscale and AI-ready data centre infrastructure accelerates.
The transaction includes incremental facilities and a feature allowing the loan to convert into a sustainability linked facility, subject to agreement on sustainability performance targets.
The lender syndicate comprises Clifford Capital, Deutsche Bank, Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group, Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation and Standard Chartered as mandated lead arrangers and bookrunners, alongside BNP Paribas and Stonepeak Credit as mandated lead arrangers.
Partner Charles McConnell led the White & Case team, which included Tim Fourteau, co-head of the firm’s Asia-Pacific data centre practice, as well as associates John Tan, Lenvin Tan and Yanling Guo.
In May 2026, White & Case also advised on separate financing involving Digital Edge’s joint venture with Thai conglomerate B.Grimm Power to develop and construct a data centre in Chonburi. The USD880 million green loan raised for the project was the largest project financing of its kind completed in Thailand at the time.
