Developer Duo Teaming Up on $1.8B Atlanta Data Center

TA Realty and EdgeConneX are working together on a 324 MW hyperscale data center near Atlanta. Construction is set to start later this year, and the first phase is expected to come online by 2026. The campus is slated for Union City, southwest of Atlanta.

Microsoft is reported to be the end user for the future campus. The development will eventually measure about 2.1 million square feet and cost roughly $1.8 billion.

In addition to the first 612,000-square-foot building to be delivered in Phase 1, two more facilities of the same size are to be constructed in three phases, with the entire project set for completion by 2029.

Last month, the Development Authority of Fulton County approved $75 million in incentives over a 10-year period for EdgeConneX. The project is expected to create about 50 full-time jobs and 400 to 600 temporary construction jobs. The 10-year economic impact is estimated to be approximately $2.9 billion with about $200 million in tax revenues over the same period.
