Metro Atlanta's data center buildout is advancing across Fulton and Douglas counties, with developers moving multiple large campuses through planning and construction in 2026. T5 Data Centers is developing a campus in South Fulton County designed to support up to 200 megawatts of critical IT load, with three buildings totaling roughly 1.32 million square feet on a 91-acre site and utility service expected to come online during the year.
In Douglas County, DC BLOX is building a 120-megawatt campus in Lithia Springs, backed by more than $1 billion in green loan financing closed in 2025, with an additional 80 megawatts of expansion capacity planned. Stream Data Centers is separately advancing a 1.3-million-square-foot project in Douglas County that would include nine data center buildings and two substations, underscoring how power infrastructure is being built directly into new campuses.
The activity reflects Georgia's position as one of the fastest-growing data center markets in the United States Southeast, drawing operators with available land, transmission access, and proximity to Atlanta's connectivity. Microsoft has also been developing a facility in Fulton County. The concentration of projects across these counties points to sustained demand from cloud and AI workloads, even as utilities and local officials weigh the electricity and water requirements that accompany campuses of this scale.
