Metro Atlanta continues to add data center capacity as developers advance large campuses across Fulton and Douglas counties. A newly filed application for a roughly 5 million square foot data center campus outside Atlanta underscores the scale of hyperscale interest in the region, adding to a pipeline that already ranks Georgia among the fastest growing markets in the country.
Several projects are moving into their build and energization phases. In South Fulton County, T5 Data Centers is developing the T5 Atlanta IV campus, a 91-acre site slated to hold three buildings totaling about 1.32 million square feet and up to 200 megawatts of critical IT load. Utility service is expected to become operational in 2026, with the first phase scheduled for delivery in 2027.
Douglas County is drawing major investment as well. DC BLOX closed 1.15 billion dollars in green loan financing in August 2025 for its Atlanta West campus in Lithia Springs, a 100-acre development designed for high-performance computing. The site will run 80 megawatts concurrently at first and is planned to reach 120 megawatts, with an additional 80 megawatts of expansion available in 2027.
The activity reflects broad hyperscale demand for sites with power access, fiber connectivity, and developable land near Atlanta. County officials and utilities are weighing the tax base and construction jobs the campuses bring against the strain that concentrated electricity demand places on the regional grid. With more projects filing applications, the Fulton and Douglas corridor is emerging as one of the Southeast's densest clusters of data center construction.
