Singapore-headquartered DayOne Data Centers has secured a €500m mezzanine financing facility from Brookfield and an unnamed global sovereign investor to support its hyperscale data centre rollout in Finland.
DayOne said the seven-year financing facility, which can be expanded to up to €1bn, will support the rollout of projects in Lahti and Kouvola, with the flexibility to allocate proceeds to other key growth markets as required.
The company maintains a global hyperscale data centre development pipeline across Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, Japan, Hong Kong and Finland.
The latest financing adds to DayOne’s US$1.9bn (€1.62bn) raised across its series-A and B equity rounds, and further supports its growth in Europe and Asia-Pacific. The company is advancing nearly 300MW of planned capacity in Finland, including a joint-venture hyperscale development in Kouvola and a €1.2bn investment commitment in Lahti announced in August 2025.
Jamie Khoo, CEO of DayOne, said: “The Brookfield facility strengthens DayOne’s long-term capital base and supports the continued build-out of our global platform. It aligns with the scale and pace of digital infrastructure our customers require and reflects the confidence our investors, including Brookfield, have in our strategy and execution.
“With Finland as the initial borrower, it marks another important step in advancing our development across multiple markets.”
Sean Robertson, infrastructure debt senior vice president at Brookfield, said: “Brookfield is uniquely positioned to provide flexible, large-scale financing solutions for high-quality operators like DayOne that are enabling the global shift toward AI and cloud-driven data demand given our experience in digital infrastructure.”
