Backed by CBRE Investment Management, Accelerate closes $450 million securitization across a diversified portfolio of digital, renewable and transportation infrastructure sites

DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Accelerate Infrastructure Opportunities (Accelerate), a leading infrastructure site investor backed by CBRE Investment Management, today announced the closing of a $450 million asset-backed securitization (ABS), the company’s second institutional ABS issuance in less than two years.

The transaction was privately placed, receiving strong interest from institutional investors, reflecting the durability and contracted nature of the underlying cash flows. The notes are backed by a diversified portfolio of infrastructure sites supporting digital infrastructure, renewable energy and transportation sectors across 39 states.

The transaction follows Accelerate’s inaugural $150 million securitization completed in October 2024.

“We’re pleased to complete our second securitization and appreciate the continued trust of our new and existing credit investors,” said Brandon O’Gara, president and CFO of Accelerate. “This financing provides additional flexibility as we continue to grow our portfolio across key infrastructure sectors.”

Since launching its infrastructure strategy in 2022, Accelerate has raised more than $1.8 billion in debt and equity capital commitments and grown its portfolio to more than 400 infrastructure sites across 47 states.

"The success of this latest securitization highlights the quality of Accelerate’s diversified infrastructure portfolio and the strength of its business model. We are grateful to our debt partners for their support and continued partnership,” said Robert Shaw, managing director with CBRE Investment Management's Private Infrastructure business.

Accelerate engaged Cantor Fitzgerald as sole structuring advisor and joint placement agent, TD Securities as joint placement agent and Katten Muchin Rosenman LLP as legal counsel.

Key Terms

asset-backed securitization financial

Asset-backed securitization is a process where a financial institution pools together a group of assets—such as loans or receivables—and converts them into a security that can be sold to investors. This allows the original lender to raise funds quickly, while investors gain access to a stream of payments derived from the underlying assets. It’s similar to bundling multiple small income sources into a single investment, providing both liquidity for lenders and investment opportunities for others.

ABS financial

Asset-backed securities (ABS) are financial instruments that bundle many individual loans or receivables—such as car loans, credit-card balances or equipment leases—and sell slices of the bundle to investors. Like slicing a loaf of bread into pieces to share, ABS let investors buy a portion of the cash flows from many borrowers, so their credit quality, payment speed and default rates directly affect the income, risk and liquidity investors receive.

qualified institutional buyers regulatory

Qualified institutional buyers are large organizations, like big investment firms or banks, that are allowed to buy certain types of investment opportunities not available to everyday investors. Their size and experience matter because it ensures they understand and can handle complex financial deals, making markets more efficient and secure.

section 4(a)(2) regulatory

Section 4(a)(2) is a part of U.S. securities laws that allows companies to sell their stock directly to certain investors without registering the sale with regulators. This process is often used for private placements, making it easier and faster for companies to raise money from knowledgeable or institutional investors. It matters to investors because it provides an alternative way to buy shares, often with fewer disclosures and lower costs.
