Carrier Connect Data Solutions has signed a five-year customer agreement covering all 4MW of a data center in Alpharetta, Georgia, according to Data Center Dynamics. The facility sits at 1001 Windward Concourse in Fulton County, north of Atlanta, and the lease begins in November 2026.
Carrier Connect, working through its PureColo subsidiary, put the potential billings over the five-year term at about CA$88.9 million, or roughly US$63.15 million. That figure is calculated at the rate for the initial 3MW deployment. The customer has not been named. The 4MW represents the first tranche of a previously announced 25MW letter of intent, and Data Center Dynamics reported it is unclear whether Radian Arc, an existing PureColo and Carrier Connect customer, is the counterparty.
Carrier Connect leased the site from Mapletree Industrial Trust earlier in October. GE was the building's only previous occupant. The 184,555 square foot facility was built in the 1980s as a corporate data facility for Continental Telephone. GE bought the property in 1991, and Carter Validus purchased it from GE for $50 million in a 2014 sale-leaseback. Mapletree acquired the Carter Validus data center portfolio in 2021, and GE had been set to lease the building until September 2025.
Carrier Connect launched in 2019 in Vancouver and moved to 200 Burrard in 2022. The company says it aims to consolidate Tier II and Tier III colocation data centers internationally. It acquired PureColo in December 2025, and its sites include Vancouver, Ottawa, St. John, Perth and Rochester, New York. Earlier in 2026 it acquired Vancouver network connectivity firm Morewave. The Alpharetta lease adds a Georgia site to that portfolio and fills a building that has an established history as a data facility in the Atlanta suburbs.
