Data Center Demand is Strong, Debt Markets are Selective
The largest data center projects have a huge debt advantage, as well as a potential exti disadvantage, says John Day, Chief Commercial Officer of CleanArc Data Centers.
Speaking with Cool Vector on the sidelines of the 2026 Pacific Telecommunications Council in Honolulu, Day shares front-line market intelligence about the debt “hiccup” in the digital infrastructure market favoring projects with investment-grade tenants. But Day wonders whether the largest data center projects will have trouble monetizing down the road.
Key takeaways from the interview:
• Debt markets have tightened sharply for hyperscale construction financing, effectively freezing out non-investment-grade tenants despite robust underlying demand.
• Power availability is the defining constraint shaping where and how fast data centers can be developed in 2026.
• The same massive projects that attract large investors may ultimately be too big to exit cleanly.
• CleanArc’s Tier 1 location strategy is a bet on proximity to fiber and peering exchanges
