The funding will support the construction of a 120-megawatt data center, DC BLOX\u2019s Atlanta West Hyperscale Data Center Campus, in Lithia Springs, Ga. The facility has been designed to meet the demands of cloud and AI workloads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Initial capacity at the 1.3 million-square-foot campus could be available as soon as 2027, and the campus could be expanded to support an additional 80 megawatts of capacity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The site is next to Microsoft\u2019s 300-acre facility and 2.5 miles from Google.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A DC BLOX spokesperson told Commercial Property Executive<\/em> that construction on Atlanta West is preparing to go vertical: laying footings and conduit, tilt-panel preparation and completing the slab.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Atlanta West project, then known as Project River, broke ground in November 2023<\/a>. The following month, DC BLOX acquired 72 acres in Conyers, Ga.<\/a>, to develop a two-building, 750,000-square-foot, 216-megawatt hyperscale-ready data center campus, now designated Atlanta East.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Atlanta now a top-four data center market<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Along with Phoenix, Atlanta is a new entrant into North America\u2019s four largest data center markets (alongside Northern Virginia and Chicago), according to a June report from CBRE. Inventory across those four markets jumped by 43 percent year-over-year in the first quarter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAtlanta more than tripled its capacity to 1,279.4 megawatts, driven by hyperscale, AI start-up and enterprise demand,\u201d CBRE reported.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Increases in the average asking data center rents in the Atlanta region were close behind those for Chicago and Northern Virginia, according to CBRE, rising by 13.0 percent year-over-year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
