Summary

  • $900 million of five-year junk bonds were sold by Elk Grove Village Property LLC, with the deal upsized by $50 million from initial discussions.
  • The notes were priced at par to yield 7.5%—the low end of price talk—signaling solid demand for debt tied to AI infrastructure.
  • Elk Grove Village Property is an indirect subsidiary of Prime Data Centers, and the Chicago-area facility is tied to CoreWeave.
  • The sale follows the company's earlier plan to raise $850 million for a data center fully leased to CoreWeave for 15 years, part of a broader rush by junk-rated issuers to fund AI buildouts.
