The Daily Dig:
DC BLOX just locked down $240 million in HoldCo financing from Global Infrastructure Partners (GIP), a part of BlackRock, to fuel its hyperscale data center expansion across the Southeast. The company says the financing backs its growing portfolio of digital infrastructure projects, including hyperscale data centers, subsea cable landing stations, colocation services, and fiber network solutions.
DC BLOX also points out this facility comes on top of its previously announced $1.15 billion and $265 million Senior Secured Green Loans. Right now, they've got operating data centers in Birmingham (AL), Huntsville (AL), Chattanooga (TN), Greenville (SC), and Myrtle Beach (SC), with new developments in the works in Conyers (GA), Douglasville (GA), North Augusta (SC), Palm Coast (FL), and Montgomery (AL).

TheJobWalk Thoughts:
HoldCo financing usually means the platform wants to avoid getting stuck between markets. It's not going to magically fix power or permitting challenges, but it can cut down on the "stop and redo all the paperwork" delays when you've got several sites moving at different paces. For GCs, trades, and suppliers, here's what matters: this type of capital structure typically means a more consistent flow of work across multiple locations.
