Groundbreaking financing, a first in Canada

Davies acted as Canadian counsel for eStruxture Data Centers in its C$750-million securitization transaction, which formed part of eStruxture’s aggregate C$1.35-billion financing round, and which will be used to advance AI-ready data centers across Canada. 

The asset-backed securities (ABS) notes were issued under eStruxture’s industry-leading Green Finance Framework, which was introduced earlier this month and represents a strategic inflection point in the company’s growth trajectory. 

The Davies team included: Elliot Greenstone, Shayna Goldman, Michael Disney, Steven Cutler, Olivier Désilets, Joshua Kuretsky, Caroline Parent-Harvey and Mehlka Mustansir (Corporate); Dan Wolfensohn and Kimvy Ngo (Banking); Joseph Jarjour and Jason Stapley  (Real Estate); Robin B. Schwill (Insolvency); Marie-Emmanuelle Vaillancourt, Ian Caines and Marc Pietro Allard (Tax).
