Overview

Capital across the data-center lifecycle

Matchpoint Partners arranges capital and advises across the data-center lifecycle — from land and powered-shell acquisition through construction, fit-out and equipment financing to take-out refinancing, sale-and-leaseback and platform M&A. We work with developers, operators and investors building and funding AI, hyperscale, colocation and edge facilities across the GCC and globally.

Matchpoint is a capital and advisory partner, not a contractor: we structure and raise the finance, introduce institutional and family-office capital and run the transaction — we do not provide engineering, construction or facility-operations services. Data centers offer contracted, infrastructure-like cash flows underpinned by structural demand from AI and cloud, and we match that demand to the right debt and equity.

  • USD 20m – 500m+ across debt, equity and JV structures.
  • Assets: AI, hyperscale, colocation and edge data centers.
  • Capital: project finance, equity, JV, mezzanine, refinancing, sale-&-leaseback.
  • For: developers, operators, sponsors, institutional & family-office investors.

Data Center Financing FAQs

Matchpoint arranges the full capital stack for data-center developers and operators — land and powered-shell acquisition finance, senior construction and project finance, mezzanine, equity and JV capital, plus take-out refinancing and sale-and-leaseback once a facility stabilises. Tickets range from USD 20m to USD 500m+.

No. Matchpoint is a corporate-finance and capital-introduction firm: we structure and raise the finance, introduce equity and debt investors and advise on M&A. We do not provide engineering, construction or facility-operations services — those are delivered by your own contractors and operators.

Contracted, long-term lease or offtake cash flows from creditworthy hyperscale and enterprise tenants give data centers infrastructure-like return profiles, while structural demand from AI and cloud underpins growth. We structure debt and equity around those contracted cash flows and the asset’s secured power and connectivity.

Matchpoint works primarily on a success fee, with a modest retainer to cover execution. Fees are agreed in writing up front and scaled to the size and complexity of the transaction — with no hidden costs.

Most mandates reach a first term sheet within 30–90 days, depending on diligence readiness and structure; closing follows once terms are agreed.

A short, confidential scoping call and NDA; we structure the requirement and prepare materials, then run a competitive process across our 5,000+ investor and lender relationships, and negotiate to close — with a partner leading at every step.
