The financing brings together Citigroup Global Markets, First Abu Dhabi Bank and Infranity alongside existing lenders ABN AMRO, Allianz Global Investors and SMBC. The expanded lender group spans global banks and institutional investors from Europe, the Middle East, Asia and the United States, reflecting broad confidence in Pure DC's differentiated platform and its ability to execute against its growth strategy. The announcement follows a period in which Pure DC has secured more than $6.2 billion in the last 12 months.

The Oaktree-backed company is building a pan-European and Middle East AI infrastructure business rooted in secured power sites designed to deliver large-scale AI training data center campuses interconnected to smaller inference-based data centers, combined with its existing facilities in core hyperscale cloud availability zones. Pure DC's "power first" strategy begins with securing access to the power needed to support development, then integrates site development, engineering, construction and operations to deliver capacity for major hyperscale cloud and AI customers. This approach directly addresses two of the most significant challenges facing AI infrastructure investment today: obtaining power and delivering capacity on schedule.

As lenders scrutinize development schedules and execution risk more closely, Pure DC's secured power strategy, asset quality and proven delivery capabilities provide a foundation for financing its expansion. The company has also received repeated recognition for sustainability and execution, with six company and project award wins in 2026 honoring environmental transformation, power innovation and infrastructure delivery, alongside individual honours and wider industry recognition. The financing framework positions Pure DC to scale its platform at a time when hyperscale customers are racing to secure powered land and operational capacity across Europe and the Middle East.
