Following a successful operation in luxury real estate, the Responsible Capital Management division of Après-demain confirms its dynamic strategy by participating in the financing of a next-generation data center dedicated to Artificial Intelligence (AI) and high-density computing.
This investment is part of an operation structured by a leading arranger (O2 Capital Asset Management), bringing together several private investors to support the deployment of sovereign infrastructure in France. Structured as a secured senior loan, this investment is fully in line with our private debt allocation strategy. It provides the necessary financial flexibility for the technical completion of the project while targeting an optimized risk/return profile.
The objective: to support value creation on a rare and strategic technological asset. Located near a major French metropolitan area, this site benefits from a secured power connection, representing a major barrier to entry in today’s market.
“This transaction strengthens our private debt portfolio exposure to real assets and here specifically to a critical AI-related infrastructure. It illustrates our commitment to supporting projects backed by high-quality technical assets alongside experienced partners.” — Jean-Philippe Carvaillo, Head of Private Debt
For Après-demain, this asset meets strict investment criteria, as illustrated by the operation’s key highlights:
- Energy excellence & ESG: Direct Liquid Cooling (DLC) technology that maximizes efficiency whilst drastically reducing water consumption and the carbon footprint.
- Premium valuation: an “AI-Ready” infrastructure capable of supporting extreme power densities, significantly higher than standard market density.
- Trusted partnerships: a project fully pre-leased to a global AI leader, ensuring greater cash flows visibility.
