Blackstone‑backed QTS has rolled out a $4.6 bn green bond to bankroll a new data‑centre in Fayetteville, Georgia. The 10‑year, investment‑grade issue will finance a hyperscale facility designed to host thousands of servers for clients such as Microsoft, signalling Blackstone’s push into AI‑driven infrastructure.

The bond, priced at a 1.625‑point spread over Treasuries, signals strong appetite for sustainable, high‑quality AI assets. Moody’s has assigned a Baa2 rating, firmly placing the issue within investment‑grade territory. Proceeds will mainly refinance existing credit lines tied to the Fayetteville project and fund other corporate needs. JPMorgan, Goldman Sachs, Wells Fargo and SMBC Nikko are structuring the deal, underscoring continued bank confidence in private‑equity‑backed infrastructure.

The $4.6 bn green bond joins a wave of AI‑driven data‑centre funding, as Moody’s estimates that over $3 tn will be required globally to build digital infrastructure. Debt markets, both public and private, are expected to play a central role, supplementing equity and private placements that QTS has already tapped with an $800 m raise for project completion.

Blackstone’s $10 bn acquisition of QTS in 2021 positioned the firm to accelerate hyperscale deployment. The new bond not only fuels a flagship facility but also signals investor confidence in sustainable, AI‑enabled infrastructure. With major clients like Microsoft on board, the project could set a benchmark for future data‑centre financing models and market growth opportunities worldwide.
