Oct 2019Series CActis (lead)$180M-Chayora Holdings Limited is a data center designer and operator specializing in large-scale, built-to-order hyperscale facilities in China, primarily serving US and European customers on 5- to 15-year contracts. Established in 2011, the Hong Kong-headquartered company (registered in the Cayman Islands) focuses on campuses like its 80-acre TJ1 site in Tianjin serving the greater Beijing area, with plans for nine facilities there. In October 2019, Chayora secured a $180 million Series C funding round from Actis Asia Real Estate Fund, with Actis taking a 63% controlling stake in common stock after the investment. Actis completed the first $64 million tranche, with subsequent tranches to increase its majority holding. This followed Actis's acquisition of a prior $73 million Series B investment (originally from Standard Chartered Principal Finance Real Estate), including $20 million directly in Chayora and $53 million for property, which Chayora consolidated as part of Series C. The capital, supplemented by $250 million in project debt, funds expansion of the Tianjin campus, adding hyperscale facilities to support cloud providers amid China's growing data volumes. Chayora plans a future Series D round while remaining private.

In March 2016, Chayora raised $73 million in Series B funding from Standard Chartered Bank Principal Finance Real Estate (SCB PFRE), which acquired a direct equity stake of up to 19.5% in Chayora Holdings Limited. The investment also included the introduction of additional substantial long-term equity for anchor data centres located within Chayora's planned Tianjin and Hangzhou campuses, with the commitment triggering matching equity from Chayora's domestic strategic partners for these projects. The post-money valuation at the time of this Series B round was $374.35 million. The investment partnership combined SCB PFRE's required capital, global client relationships, and China market expertise with Chayora's unique data centre campus platform to support the needs of international and premium domestic users. By October 2019, Chayora had secured an additional Series C funding round of $180 million from Actis, demonstrating continued investor confidence in the company's expansion strategy across Chinese data centre markets.
