CIM Group announced today that it closed on an initial $125 million loan commitment with a potential increase up to $200 million to Applied Digital (NASDAQ: APLD). The loan will fund construction of Applied Digital’s High-Performance Computing (HPC) Campus in Ellendale, North Dakota. The data center is designed to provide massive computing power and support HPC applications.

Applied Digital is a designer, builder, and operator of next-generation digital infrastructure designed for HPC applications. In October 2023, the company began construction on the first building, a 100 MW, 342,000-square-foot data center at its HPC campus in Ellendale, ND. Additionally, Applied Digital has entered into exclusivity and executed an LOI with a U.S.-based hyperscaler for a 400 MW capacity lease at this campus. The campus has more than 600 MW of future capacity.

‍“As a long-term investor in digital infrastructure, CIM Group appreciates and supports the great strides Applied Digital is making with its diversification into next generation digital infrastructure designed to serve global technology companies,” said Avi Shemesh, Co-Founder and Principal, CIM Group.

“We are excited to partner with CIM Group to fulfill Applied Digital’s vision for the Ellendale campus,” said Wes Cummins, Applied Digital’s CEO. “CIM’s financing facility will be instrumental in solidifying Applied Digital’s position as a leading HPC data center owner and operator.”
