Newmark Secures $975 Million Financing for Northern Virginia Mission-Critical Data Center
Newmark Group, Inc. has arranged $975 million in balance sheet financing for Project Helios, a newly built mission-critical data center located in Northern Virginia.
The financing supports a state-of-the-art digital infrastructure asset in one of the most important data center markets in the United States. Northern Virginia is widely known as a major hub for internet traffic, cloud computing, and network connectivity.
Project Helios Backed by Major Institutional Demand
Project Helios is positioned within a leading Northern Virginia data center campus and is surrounded by hyperscale tenants with strong credit profiles. The facility is fully leased to a major investment-grade cloud service provider under a long-term agreement.
According to the announcement, Newmark represented the borrower, a joint venture between Affinius Capital and Corscale Data Centers. The financing was provided by Blue Owl.
Newmark Team Leads High-Profile Financing
The transaction was handled by Newmark’s Global Debt & Structured Finance team, including Jordan Roeschlaub, Christopher Kramer, Chris Lozinak, John Caraviello, and Ryan Bub. Sector specialists Andrew Warin and Phil O’Bannon also supported the deal.
Why Northern Virginia Matters
Northern Virginia remains one of the world’s most important data center regions because of its strong fiber connectivity, access to major cloud users, and large-scale infrastructure ecosystem. The area continues to attract institutional capital as demand for artificial intelligence, cloud services, and digital storage grows.
Digital Infrastructure Continues to Attract Capital
Christopher Kramer said the transaction reflects continued institutional confidence in digital infrastructure, especially in Northern Virginia, where demand is driven by connectivity, scale, and proximity to end users.
The deal also highlights how high-quality data centers with long-term leases and investment-grade tenants remain attractive to lenders and investors, even as the broader commercial real estate market faces changing conditions.
