Bisnow highlights DataBank’s 95-acre acquisition in Lithia Springs and DC BLOX’s $1.2 billion campus in Douglasville as Metro Atlanta positions itself to become a Tier 1 data center market. The article examines how power constraints in Northern Virginia, combined with Atlanta’s cheaper electricity and abundant land, are driving hyperscale operators to the Southeast.
DataBank plans to develop one million square feet across two multistory data centers on its new property, which sits near its existing ATL4 facility. The site will include a Georgia Power-operated 180-megawatt substation to support enterprise, technology, and hyperscale customers as AI applications drive new demand.
“Atlanta is one of the most sought-after markets for data center capacity across all segments of our customer base. And now with new AI applications coming online, we’re seeing an entirely new driver of demand that promises to make this an even more attractive market.”
— Raul Martynek, CEO of DataBank
The metro already hosts 2.8 million square feet of data center space with 390 MW capacity, with operators underway on an additional one million square feet and 152 MW. JLL data shows a pipeline of 2.6 million square feet and 571 MW planned for the region.
