Joe La Rosa, CEO of La Rosa, said, “Closing the initial tranche of our $250 million facility is a milestone that strengthens our investable assets and moves us from the evaluation phase to the execution phase. With $1.25 billion in total potential capital access, we are now positioned to act decisively on our pipeline of AI infrastructure that could drive long-term value for our shareholders.”
