Data center firm EdgeConneX and real estate firm TA Realty are planning a new campus in Atlanta, Georgia.
The companies this week announced the joint development of a 324MW hyperscale data center campus in Atlanta.
Construction is set to commence later this year, with the first phase of the data center campus expected to be operational by 2026.
The precise location wasn’t shared, with the companies only saying the site is “positioned strategically in a key Atlanta sub-market.”
EQT-owned EdgeConneX currently operates two adjacent facilities in Atlanta along Donnelly Avenue; the 1.5MW ATL01 spans 29,530 sq ft (92,745 sqm), while the 4MW ATL02 spans 91,980 sq ft (8,545 sqm) with expansion capacity up to 9MW. The second facility opened in 2018.
Update: Citing property records, BizJournalreports an affiliate of Virginia-based EdgeConneX acquired nearly 63 acres in Union City in early July from an affiliate of Boston-based real estate investment firm TA Realty. The site, along Stonewall Tell Road just north of South Fulton Parkway, sold for $318.5 million - equating to around $5 million per acre.
Original story resumes:
In addition to acquiring the site, TA Realty will manage power procurement and secure all necessary utilities, zoning approvals, permits, and entitlements through its dedicated hyperscale development arm, TA Digital Group.
The Mitsubishi Estate-backed company announced in November that it had signed a 430MW build-to-suit lease agreement for its entire data center campus in Loudoun County with a “premier global cloud services provider." Full build-out of the Leesburg, Virginia, site is expected in 2027.
Atlanta is a major data center hub with operators including Microsoft, CoreSite, QTS, DataBank, Flexential, Switch, DC Blox, Edged Energy, Stack, T5, Vantage, and EdgeConneX.
