Data center development is accelerating across metro Atlanta, led by large campus projects in Fayette, Fulton and Douglas counties. QTS is building a campus known as Project Excalibur on a 615-acre site in Fayetteville, south of Atlanta, a development expected to cost more than $1 billion and include up to 16 buildings. The project has been in planning since 2022.
Other operators are expanding nearby. T5 Data Centers is developing the T5 Atlanta IV campus in South Fulton County on 91 acres, with three buildings totaling roughly 1.32 million square feet and capacity for up to 200 megawatts of critical IT load. Utility service at the site is expected to come online in 2026, with the first phase delivered by 2027.
In Douglas County, DC BLOX closed $1.15 billion in green loan financing to build a 120-megawatt campus across 100 acres in Lithia Springs. Microsoft has also acquired land in Palmetto, in Fulton County, for a planned facility.
The cluster of projects reflects metro Atlanta's standing as one of the fastest growing U.S. data center markets, driven by available land, transmission access and demand from cloud and AI workloads.
